Recently, I had the unique experience of watching a dream die. This isn’t to say it was a positive or negative experience, but just a realization of the moment. This poem is about the dream that died and that moment.
I watched a dream die today
Though its been a while since it had any hope anyway
Still it brought back all those memories
Of dark times when you were the only light for me
Reminding me of life beyond cynicism, pain and doubt
Your beauty shines inside and out
But the demons in me kept me from telling you
Of how I felt about you
