At Your Door

No one waits at your door

No one remembers your name

Nobody misses you anymore

Only your memories remain

 

Nobody cares if you die

Nobody cares if you phone

No angels watch from the sky

You're a ghost, totally alone

 

Life through TV is what's left

Stories through books are your dreams

All of your hopes are bereft

You're alone to the utter extremes

 

Is this your fear or a fact of today

Is it too late for you to decide

Perhaps it's only for you to say

Will your life and your fears both collide

 

No one waits at your door

You never asked them to come

No one calls anymore

Are you the ghost you've become

 

When did you last make a call

When did you visit your friend

Perhaps you did drop the ball

But you're still in time to amend

 

No one waits at your door

Is this how you want it to end
