strangers came to stay

my loved ones went away
only strangers come to stay

this is not a dream but a nightmare
that became reality
those I held so dearly
were taken away from me

the little things I took for granted
of previous moments, way back when
are all I have to cling to
they never seemed important then

the dreams we dreamed together
are like footprints in the sand
the winds of change have swept them away
no trace can now be found

I'm living now in silence
with only echoes from the past
voices in the distance
from have that's so vast

yes my dream became my nightmare
the hands are still there
