Corpse
How quaint the melody silence brings-
here I sit and watch the world pass by.
Realizing too late I should be there, but to be the spectator
is far more romantic than living for the day.
I think I like this place.
The walls are bare; wooden floors groan beneath my feet.
Nothing to distract-
No modern comforts, only me.
I draw on the wall faces I�ve seen
Birthing a world of my design
Yet they can only sit and stare dumbly.
I am alone.
