City of Wax and Steel
May 16, 2014
Ice cold drops of steel
Descend from dismal gray clouds
Soaking into dirt
Bright silver puddles
Line the empty roads of towns
Where people would dream
Rows of lifeless homes
Open doors and broken glass
A world lost to time
Through crumbled doorways
Passing by the rotting halls
A lone candle sits
Streams of wax frozen
Bound to the nightstand by time
Shackled by its fate
When our life runs out
We will slowly melt away
On the silver streets
