Tell me not of forgotten dreams br For dreams are fleeting - br Life's reality holds steadfast, br No room for dreams now br Only today's stark coldness br Shivers the magical song br That once embraced my heart; br br Tell me not of forgotten hopes br For hopes are fading - br This is all there is now, br Nothing more than shadow - br Muted watery images br Void of color and sound br No longer breathing life; br br Everything so far away now - br Love scattered on the wind, br Fragile petals blown and bruised br Dashed and broken - bleeding br Unrealized, unfulfilled, br Never to feel your lifeblood br Ignite my soul................................ br br I am a ghost waiting to be reborn.
