As If Forever

"There's a ray of hope in every day"
With flaming enthusiasm you regard
The sanguine carnation's
Bow in the breeze
But though you smile deadens the pain
Futility is so staunch just won't go away

And the sun vanishes as if forever
A hieroglyphic sky huddles down
And tomorrow is gone heyday fade away
All the withering portends the
Approaching end

I just want to hold you nothing more
But you flinch and shiver so cold
Love and joy moulders into fear
In my face his eyes appear

Waking up delirious you say
"It must have been a dream"
But denying reality
Won't make it disappear
"With a sense of perdition always there
It's hard to put my trust even in
Someone with you care"

"Fly find yourself in captivity
Running endless vanity
A perennial void
In soul forever too late
As it always has been"
