Deathbed Memories

Dull skies have never been so bright
Since the rain, it seems of yesterday
When in loneliness, I would stride
Towards a dream that had no place
And all I remember, I can never feel
The one I was, not long ago
Somewhere lost inside of me
The one I yearn again to know
A tormented child, obsessed with the promise of life
Yet weary of its dim decline
The recurring relapse, opposing chance
When I would relent from what I knew could never last
As days shone to disappear
Before the hollow sleep of night
And I wallow slowly fading as I sink below
In sorrow's stillborn chamber, I had sown
A dream without awakening; a life alone
And I'm still trapped in time
