Poem: Ghost Town

Ghost town,
Lost town,
It was once beautiful and strong,
Now it just exists, so
Empty, dark and grey, and
All the shades in between,
With all the ruins in between,
With all of us amongst the ruins.
We were once strong,
We made the history of now,
Then history repaid itself,
We’ve become the slaves of our time,
Living in the long-forgotten,
Ghost town.
I knew you in your early days,
I knew you in your prime,
I wanted to be here forever,
But it is time to say goodbye.
Until the next babe, I am gone.
I’m filled with sadness and relief,
I’ve turned the page,
I’ve changed my books,
I hope you will recover soon,
Until then, you’ll be in my dreams.
As a once the legendary town,
Of our youth, and the good times
Of our prime,
And the home for oh so many.
