Alley ( Song)

 

The sound

of your footsteps

on the paving stones

Broke open

the silence

of my loneliness

The wall,

touched by your breath,

fell into quiet

There was an alley

that stayed awake till dawn

With the memory of you

With the memory of you

Daylight came

to read the remnants

of a troubled dream

Nameless alleys

grew weary

of windows waiting

Longing for a door

Any door

To open

The alleys grew narrower

As we grew tall

Walls were scratched

Colors quarreled

On their tired skin

A dead-end alley

Recites the tale

Of a gate

That never opens

I asked for a hidden alley

Unnamed

Unseen

Where familiar paths

Slowly ended

The alleys of yesterday

Were keepsakes

Of our wandering steps

They covered the alley

With black asphalt

And no one walked

The memories

No one walked

The memories
