Requiem For My Dreams

Long have I slept
Its time to wake

Words not kept
And I've been very late

Tedious was my slumber
And empty my heart

Over lost hopes I ponder
Am I too late for a new start?

As my nerves come back to life
I feel in my heart this knife

Its sinking all the time
What has been my crime?

How have I been?
Left so far behind

I did nothing all this time
That was worthwhile

Maybe that has brought me
To the precipice of my revile

No longer my eyes
Have that sheen

I'm not half the man
I could have been

How long do I struggle?
With the same fight?

Have to wake up now
And change my plight

The Letter

Whose words these are I think I know
She has never spoken to me, though
She won't see me pick her letter
And watch her words make me glow

My friends must think I'm weird
Seeing me smile broad and clear
In the middle of my work
The busiest day of the year

They see my foolish grin
And wonder where my head has been
“What’s wrong?” they ask, their laughter loud
Not knowing my heart’s quiet within

They give my head a good shake
And ask me what I did intake
They don't hear my pounding heart
Neither see the dreams I baked

These words are lovely warm and deep
But the name on the letter is not mine to keep
And her's a secret I must keep
No tears anymore when I try to weep
No stars to guide me when the darkness creeps
