Hopeless Dreams

When the subconscious takes the repressed thoughts and memories and flips them on your head.

Shattered pieces fall before my agonized eyes
Little glimmering shards of my one-time dreams
Robbing me of peace, despair filling the divide
A sweet caress turned sour ash in the basest of means

I stand squarely upon the brink of this uncaring verge
Teetering between forlorn longing and unassailable anger
Relinquishing no pain as continues my poisonous dirge
a disastrous ballad in time with an unspeakable danger

A dastardly bond reborn of an insatiable heart
Keenly playing upon the hopes of an unsound mind
Loves causality a dreadful parasite upon a reopened scar
Loves casualty another soul rendered broken in kind

As the descent begins, the roar of silence fills my ears
Over the edge I fall, hurtling toward the presense of none
The fire of my life extinguished, distilling all my fears
All for the bitter crusade of having found the one
