Afterglow Fades

We dance the same old dances but we're wearing diff'rent shoes long and lingering habits are the hardest ones to lose decisions left to me are choices I can't bear to choose when echoes from inside of me are someone else's news. The flames of passion quickly rise, and quickly they descend A poet's life in empty pages and a broken pen I'm scarred forever from the wound you caused that just won't mend I hide deep down inside the ship of tears I cannot rend. The ticking clock of Chronos passes time as I move on in measured differences the distance half takes twice as long still I sing the lonely notes off key to fav'rite songs remembering the warmth to which my lonely heart belonged. What can I do when my dreams come true, but aren't like I planned, what have I done to lose the one that I held in my hand ?
