Silenced Dreams

Silenced Dreams

Turn to nightmares it seems

Haunting your soul

They tear your heart apart

You try to run

But end up where you start

Cut up in a bed of shattered glass

You close your eyes but alas

Your silenced dream

Is a nightmare it screams

You lie awake

And ask

How much longer until this will pass?

And as your soul to heaven is cast

Your silenced dreams? Silenced at last.

But in peace they will not rest

Abandoned in your quest

These dreams you failed to quell

Were silenced by your despair
