Dreams vanish in the mists of despair

Shadows hide away, unwelcome in this bleak existence

Light fades, diminished in the face of loneliness

While lost dreams waver on the edge of nothing

Power lies, in hope unfound

Shadows return, in the guise of friendship

While light shines, beneath a mask of darkness

And lost dreams return, in the midst of chaos

Innocence lost, hope has been shattered

Darkness falls on unwary souls

While one lives in a tortured existence

Alone, unwanted

Unsure of how to continue

In a life of lost dreams

And a storm filled reality
