No Tomorrow

​

I kept holding on to dreams
and hopes that you inspired,
all the days we never shared
and the memories I acquired.

I kept holding on to dreams
and the smiles you sent my way,
the laughter in your eyes,
and my thoughts of yesterday.

I kept holding on to dreams
that never came to be.
Now visions of tomorrow
are an empty fantasy.

I keep living in memories.
I don't know how or why
the memories still hold me,
and these dreams will never die.
