Dreamless.

As we stumble out of bed

These mundane mornings

We look into the mirror

To see all the brightness drowning

The shadows of youth

That no longer come to light

The remains of lust & lore

Of the nights that burnt bright

The shattered hopes

And painful dreams

Of everything we could be.

So much has gone wrong

And what has life become

Dream big, they said

Behind the shallow smirk

Not warning us that one day

We won't dream at all.

So we look into the mirror

And see the spotty face

Dark shadows and baggage

Of dreams long past a fade

We see all we never became

And the life we have to accept

If only the heart would stop

Beating I am I am I am….
