Wasted

Can't seem to recapture
What I'm not quite sure is gone
Just know there's pieces missing
And have been for too long
Seems to me a stranger
Has taken hold so deep inside
A cold unfeeling nothing
That's taken this my life
So much now to smile for
Yet twice as much brings tears
Just like some damned robot
There's no room for feelings here
My thoughts not what they should be
No insights left to inspire
For there's no heart whith which to make them
And my soul has grown so tired
Is this the cost of our world?
Forced to sacrifice all we feel
Or amI just a dreamer
Chasing figments I hoped real
But no; there is no doubting
Once a romantic soul dwelled here
Or was it just my youth I felt
Forever lost I fear
If so then "Damn you nature!"
For the tease of something great
Through our adolescence wasted
But never known until to late
