Shadows of distant reminiscing, foreclosing on life,  
taking away it's field of vision. 
 
Torn apart by shattered remains of incessant lies,  
falling face down, afraid of getting up. 
 
Slicing through a tainted atmosphere, pulling along  
wayward thoughts, attempting to stash them in iron  
file boxes. 
 
Shadows no longer playing in empty hallways of a  
mind, they have met and attached themselves to   
memories, making them clear at long last.
