I suppose I might have hoped That we would bloom from nothing Like a phoenix does from ash; Wild imagination Might be to blame, or perhaps A heart- a flaming heart, filled Of dreams that you encompass; False memories of laughter, Embraces, adventure, love... I hoped for what I believed But like a phoenix, such thought Could only be true in dreams; There is not much magic left In the dimming eyes of Earth, But if any is to spare, Spare me the pain of letting *Go.
