Slumped in this enclosed space of quietness, Tightened and bound to the boredom of lonesomeness.

Too many days have gone and lingered, Bountiful seconds hopelessly surrendered.

Faded echoes of eerie humming, From the stillness of the streets containing nothing.

Deprived of a congested rumbling melody, Yearning for a taste of real energy.

Togetherness yet torn apart, Holding on for none to depart.

For time is our only offering, To keep safe in this world from suffering.
