Persistence of Memory

I look for you in the corners of every room 

In the shadows lurking under streetlights 

In the cars passing by 

In the stores you once loved  

These broken shoes don't carry me like they use to 

And the new ones don't fit quite like they should 

Broken pieces of my soul lead the way as 

My heart weaves a web only meant for you 

Everything looks the same but in a darker shade  

Places still exist but the laughter isn't there 

Time moves slow and aches with every move 

Conversations cater to silence and dead ends 

A silence where the memory of you exists 

A dead end where the home of you and I still stands 

A vacancy from an eviction or maybe a death 

A pain that hides in every make shift smile
