The Fear

The fear of a dream lost
a memory gone
a tear dried
the past

how to recapture
what once was?

how to encapsulate
days gone by

the fear is so deep
the bottom cannot be reached

where did i lose my dream?

please let me sleep
so that i may dream
that dream
again

to wake
for the mere sake
of keeping the dream alive
to never lose it
again
