It's just a matter of time...

by Ash   Nov 16, 2009


I was one
amongst those millions,
with something in my heart,
Something I wanted to achieve.
I had my hopes pinned high,
My dreams were all I had,
The only reason to breathe,
To awaken each day.
As they shatter to the floor,
piece upon piece I try gather,
But they will not heal,
Each piece but scattered,
Broken so deep
Not a single strand
Of hope remains.

And as I clutch onto nothing,
Emptiness just creeps in so fast
I realize that who i was
Who I wanted to be
And who I am
Was all just fake.

Dreams broke but I could not stop,
Tears fall but I could not walk.
I lay but helpless trying to figure out,
Asking myself again and again.
The same question... Why?

I had my hopes pinned
Upon one dream
That was not too far to reach.
It was right within my grasp.
Yet again you snatched it away,
And all I can do is wonder,
Should I get up again?
Should I try to make things work?
I have no hope and nothing will work,
It's good enough to say
A lifeless carcass now breathes,
And with time even this breathing will cease.

A coward I am,
I will not deny,
And to all I want to apologize,
For my wrongs,
For each time I hurt,
I am sorry.....

I have nothing left,
Not even the strength
To get up and try again.
It's just a matter of time...
It's just a matter of time...
