DREAMS ONCE MORE

i held a heart that wasn’t mine
it sang songs...but not for me
just how crazy had i been
all along hearing
so incorrectly

i loved you until...my heart bled dry
till the music
no longer played
till the only sound within my head
was the echoing madness
of an empty day

it was you...not the sun
that lit my days
it was you...not the stars
that filled my nights

now it’s me...all alone
for which no music plays
now it’s me...all alone
to create my new light

dear sadness and loneliness
you are just
mere vagabonds
passing through
despite your efforts
to stay with me
welcomed...you’re not
as this chapter starts new

because i fear not
for the sun...it will rise
each day as it’s done before
the milky way...galaxies
stars of the night
will be mine for wishes
and dreams once more
