Hope,

Once

A dream

The sun,

the water

Calm

A beautiful day

Like we used to have

Your smile

How I will remember

Only now I see

How fragile it always has been

That all that was, never will be

I drifted out of reach

You have grown

A child of your own

A life with reason

A life with worth

And I don't seem

To fit in anymore

I'm not needed

Like I once was before

But I'll be there to hold

When the walls come tumbling down

A ghost far behind

Somewhere forgotten in time

Only now I see

How fragile it always has been

That all that I once believed in

Never seemed to have been

Real

The bitter pill

The dying of will

Regret

Fills my heart

As I drown in fear

For the wasted years

Gone

One more step closer to the edge

I realise I'm nothing more

but a moment in time
