the castle doesn't sway as the green things do.
A guard without weapons,
The soul remains.
She decays
whilst watching the bay

Nonny the dog waddles on, deaf
I smile and her tail waggles
Old friends from our youth

A postponed and painful reset
What did I miss?
Your earl twenties, mate

Many years getting ready
Where'd everyone go?
The night's full of children
Too old for this show

These were once my homes
Always were mums and dads
Yet to find where mine is

In the blustering sun
View from youth through man eyes
No longer where I belong
