I was tired in bone and mind,

everything was rough nothing kind.

I was ready to shelf my dream,

hope was gone, light was very dim.

In the dark, i closed my eyes

everything i had believed  was a lie.

I remember just how it was,

it was perfect it smelt like a rose.

In that moment, it sure wasn't false.

Only if i can dream once again,

i shall sniff that rose in the rain.

Only if i can try once more,

i will drain the skies, make it pour.

It was just perfect in your arms,

when you had my heart in your palms.

I once believed in fairy tales,

i haven't smiled in a while, you can tell.

In the dark, i laughed at my sorrows

Sought the strength to face them tomorrow

All promises made were hollow,

The words were just words,

nothing more than facades

But i swore to my soul, to give it my all.

To answer when called, and stand if i fall

As i sat in the dark, all out of luck,

It's not a plan that i lack,

Direction or passion, perhaps compassion

i was in a state of confusion

Then i opened my eyes, gone was yesterday
