Decay Of Dreams

A persistent longing remains, in this complicated scheme
Do we find gains? The meaning of days, for so long, seemed clear
Yours too, not just my dreams

I see you, true essence, profound and vast
Where our souls reside entwined at last
But now, silence and solitude prevail
Abandoned dreams, emptiness that surrounds

Our once-firm steps now falter
The world outside, cold and indifferent
Where are the smiles, promises and dreams?

Only shadows of what (what)
What we used to be, a new beginning
But the pain of loss, longing, longing
Leads us to despair's depths
To despair's depths, to despair's depths
Despair's (despair's)
