Dream

In the city of misery, my heart waits.
I feel the icy grip of loneliness--
It tightens around me,
I can hardly breathe.
I cry out with no reply.
Does anyone hear me?
My last flame of hope is long burnt out.
Voices whisper in my ear,
"No one cares..."
Taunting me--
Mocking me.
But when I turn,
No one is there.
Tormented by my past--
What should have been is gone.
Why have you abandoned me?
I hear your voice in my head.
Memories play over and over in my mind.
But memories don't last forever--
And already they are fading.
I feel my soul drifting farther away from reality.
This pain consumes me.
I know I am lost and forgotten.
Nobody can save me for it is too late...
I awake with a jump.
Was it all just a dream?
Then I see you walking away from me...
