Nowhere Town
The empty streets hum soft and low,
No sirens wail, no voices call,
I chose to stay; I will not go.
The world moves fast, but time is slow,
Here silence drapes like a gentle shawl,
The empty streets hum soft and low.
A town the maps forgot to show,
Where dusk and dawn are one in thrall,
I chose to stay; I will not go.
No neon lights, no traffic flow,
Just moonlit dust on crumbling walls,
The empty streets hum soft and low.
Some call it lost, but they don’t know,
That peace can live where echoes fall—
I chose to stay; I will not go.
No place to be, nowhere to go,
Yet this nowhere is my all.
The empty streets hum soft and low,
I chose to stay; I will not go.
