Dreams You Have Forsaken

 

I once thought
our time would last forever,
but I was wrong, mistaken
in dreams you have forsaken,
and I don't know why.

 

Now, I seem to live
in this empty memory,
and I don't know what to believe
any more.

 

You left and closed the door
on hopes you once inspired,
and all my dreams expired
as I saw life's beauty fade
into the mist of passing years,
as I cried harsh and helpless tears.

 

This is my song's sad ending.
There's no more pretending
it could be any other way.

 

I heard it
one last time today,
and, listening,
I could hear the music play,
a haunting melody of dreams
we used to sing
together.
