Of Highs and Lows

How deep this shallow vision lies
     that holds a truth my grasp can't reach
     will never last, too quickly dies
     in veiled perception too vague to seek.

     In colors daylight will never know
     this euphoric dream can't come to fast
     away reality, too harsh to show
     those lost reflections of the past.

     From darkened weakness a light is lost
     of choices made, conceived in fear
     but one is left to pay the cost
     of songs of love I did not hear.

     Will hope replace despair?
     Is anyone left to care?
