America

Full of dreams. A child hoped for better days. The innocence of his eyes. Can't help but wonder what's it like to be out there. To be in a world many of us dreamed of reaching. Leave the place we once knew in exchange of an uncertain promise. Goodbye, he once said... and everyone who left meant it. And there's regret that'll never die. There'll always be days you'll come crawling back and reach within, just to find memories of your past that'll never go away. The ghost of time embraced you. Nights turned to mourning. Sleepless... your fears haunt you in your sleep. Tired... just no more left inside. The fire has died and so am I.
