Once upon a Dream
So silently, the shadows formed, and cloaked what once, was shining bright.
How softly, crept the darkness, into what, was once, a sweet delight.
Your hand has slipped from my hand, and the touching... just too far...

Against All OddsI forded shallow waters
I tried to set my feet
The bottom was too sandy
Nothing there concrete

But it still hurts in my heart.

When we both sat in the dim hallway—
Your eyes held hope, yet showed agony;
I watched you fade into disarray.
