A boy woke up from a dream
with tears in his eyes
his chest was pounding
he couldn't understand why
In the dead of night he shook
from the experience he had, had
sitting awake in his bed
both frighten and sad
he awoke from something wonderful
that caused him pain
came from somewhere mysterious
and was now in someplace tame
he dreamed of love and loss
of life and death
beings close to his heart
had suddenly left
now the boy sits alone
without a dream to return
with only a pain in his chest
where his heart now burns
as he sits in his bed
unable to fight his feelings
the details of his dream
are already fleeting
soon he will forget
and will become complacent
and he's panicking
because he can't take it
but that's life
its a moving river
that always seems to carry you
to something bigger.
What was once important
tomorrow wont matter
and sometimes happy memories
will make you sadder
and no matter how tight you try
to grab and hold on
your memories in life
will fade as you move on.
the boy could finally sleep
but choose not to dream
if living means forgetting
he didn't want to remember anything,
