Close Your Eyes

This is just the moment where I give up

I stop dreaming of a change

I just move on

Away

And leave all my hopes on the ground

Shed a tear for each one that falls

But continue on

And as they fall away

Become more numb with each step

One

Two

Three

And they continue to rain down

I held on to all I could

And just watched as they all became meaningless

Watched as I became meaningless

And now I let my dreams pour out

I let them go

With no more reason to fight

And no more hope left

For they will never come to pass

As it is not in my future

Step again

Wishing to find a piece to hold

But still it all slips away

Reaching out to nothing

Because I no longer have a path

Panic

Disbelief

Numbness

And those hopes keep dropping around me

As one by one I let them go
