Fading Dream

When the lights have faded, and the darkness threatens the day;
When reality's path collides with your b'loved daydreams
Therein lies the heartbreak, which upon your soul it will weigh
So heavily that everything else is not what it seems.

A once good heart, descending into blackness, seeks sunlight
When the lights have faded, and the darkness threatens the day.
As the dividing edge creeps further away to twilight,
Depression and despair invite themselves in for a stay.

Behold the beauty of a dream slowly fading away!
Fading out of sight and mind into consuming madness.
When the lights have faded, and the darkness threatens the day
There's no trace of happiness, just a lingering sadness.

At the onset of dusk, you're pawns in a game by mere chance.
Captured by desire, and crushed by defeat; to your dismay.
The only thing left to do is ponder life's circumstance
When the lights have faded, and the darkness threatens the day.
