Letting a Dream Disappear

Leave my cold shoulders to rest in the grass

With my head in the ground as I stare at a cloud

My weakened feet can’t stand up once more

For my road was filled with broken glass

And my hurting feet couldn’t bear to last

Feeling the sharpness of ever cut

Getting deeper and deeper as I walked

Trying to reach a dream at the end of my road

A promised treasure to the ones who’ll be brave enough

To run before time catches up

And white hairs begin to grow

But my feet had been walking for far too long

The sun on my skin begins to burn

The blood I’ve left behind with every step

Don’t longer remind me why I stared in the first place

As I grew tired with the years gone by

And lack of strength in my heart

So, leave my cold shoulders to rest in the grass

With my head in the ground as I stare at a cloud

Forgetting my open wounds are bleeding

And no one is here

 Maybe they even forgot I exist

In this big world where everybody has their own road

But still, a part of me wanted someone to rely on

For moments like this

When my fragile body is thrown out of the road

by a single wind blow

Letting my dream disappear like the smoke

Sending these tired hands to rest

And these aching wounds

To silence.
