Dreams Fade
Posted by Shelly S on Saturday, March 19, 2011
Every day
I see the same faces
Wandering along
The same streets
Going to the same
Places
But never
Will they meet
Caught in this story
Called life
Reality
Slowly sets in
My heart
Is filled with pain and strife
Will I ever
Be happy again
For each day
That passes
Means I'm one day older
Means I'm one day wiser
Means I'm one day closer
To the grave
But each day
Looks the same
Once I had dreams
Of leading an exciting life
Of singing my songs
Of being a good wife
But dreams
Fade with the day
And turn black
As night
And I ask myself
Why?
Did I let
My dreams die?
For each day
That passes
Means I'm one day older
Means I'm one day wiser
Means I'm one day closer
To the grave
But each day
Looks the same
