Emotional walk
Through the darkened corridors of memory
Shattered and tattered
The artifacts of though
Treasures long lost
Behind the remains of a strong door
Closed and locked
Now burned
Its once hidden and protected contends

Exposed, damaged, destroyed
By a new conflagration
In the ruined remains of a once proud fortress
Extinguished by antique tears
Dust and ash covered
Fire and sun bleached
The blackened remains of the soul
Alone again in the crowded mass of the oblivious
To walk through the ash of forgotten emotions
All caring burned
What remains to feel again?
