DOA

this everyday life got to you too caught up in the cycle of too much, too soon I watched as your dreams died a slow death. I lied as I told you, I understood, never! your words were the right ones tho' hollow inside, feelings gone, long dead and still, you tried. in an instant, I knew when I saw hope wavering, just out of view there,on the sidelines, pulling away. I screamed to the shadows how could this be? the magic, the wonder out of sight, lost to this night. those flames of beginnings now, some distant memory...
