Dreams Floating In An Eternal Darkness

Blackness surrounding me Streaked with differing shades of grey Shards of hope fly by Shattered dreams from ages past Reflecting the total lack of light Just out of my grasp Why are they here teasing me? Making me think that there is a chance That there may be a way out I look Scanning the darkness I watch the shimmering hope float by At the tips of my extended fingers Then I realize that it is a vain effort Hope will never come to me I resign myself to the eternal blackness To grasping for dreams That I will never ever reach
