Look to your left
And you will see
Standing still
The ruin of me
Ivy clad, crumbling stone
A heart, alone.
Battered by the wind
Beaten by the sea
But still standing, still
The ruin of me
Battle scars, where revolutions played
The same old-song, in a different age
Turn a page and you will see
A faded photograph of who I used to be
Looking down from above
And what survives of me
Is love
In the gathering gloom
By a half dead tree
The ghosts of you
Haunt the ruin of me
Battered by the wind
Beaten by the sea
But still standing here
The ruin of me.

This is gorgeous. Haunting. Floated away on your words.

Battle scars, where
Battle scars, where revolutions played
The same old-song, in a different age
I especially liked that but enjoyed the whole piece. Well done on the cherries.
