Sullen is the air being inhaled a wrecked land empty souls the once lush - now arid flat no promises left Moment's gone though it had its chance with eyes closed picture them fragrant of cherry blossoms cries of children's joy It's still there beating deep at night feelings of uneasy some things never moved beyond they stuck in the past
