[bodytext] => 1. each time I loose darkness, I look through the walls. our house is forgotten. childhood invades me. but darkness is always stronger than ruins: our house. the sleep of empty drawers breathes inside of me. I live behind closed windows. silently, my steps climb up the stairs that lead to darkness: our house. 2. when will loneliness bring back the hidden road we once learned by heart? there were books we could never forget. there were eyes touching us. when will loneliness be more than smoke? the brightest fire was in the palm of our hands. there were flames in the eyes that lead us to this house. loneliness walks though the corridors. we learn through written flames and burned out books. 3. shadows crowl over my shadow. i sit where you once sit. I took your place when you went away. forever, someone said. shadows wisper death among dust. I stay in the room you once built. I sit in your chair. forever, the shadows say.
