Sea of Empty Dreams
Silent tears forever falling;
Silent tears on life's deaf shore.
Treasured memories wrapped in sorrow;
Treasured memories never more.
Love's frail arms outstretched and reaching,
across a sea of empty dreams;
Love's call lost, almost beseeching,
never reaching love's lost schemes.
No refuge from the mourning,
every thought, nightmares of pain.
Every pore sends out a warning,
never more and not again.
Eyes wide open, always searching
over dunes of misery.
Creeping, always weeping
life finally fades into the sea.
