Snivelling nights with wounded sleep
Once they were dreams - untainted and pure
Shattered and trodden today - they’re freckles in my eyes
I’ll never dream again I promise
Wishes and hopes strained silent
I live with my dreams snatched away
I wake up everyday - shaken to reality
I’ll never dream again I promise
Burning memories that remain
I carry them within a half lived life
The shadows of dreams stand still
I’ll never dream again I promise
I know I won’t forget you, but I’ll make your memories my reason to live.
“Don’t be shallow by saying: if people do good, we will do good; and if they do wrong, we will do wrong; but accustom yourselves to do good if the people do good, and not to do wrong if they do wrong.”
