The flames are gone
Ashes left to scatter
By the wind of change
No ember here remains
The spark I once saw
In my own reflection gone
I am the ghost of my dreams
One who's hollow and gaunt
Happiness is not for me
Trust and security washed away
Love is just a dream
Loneliness is what beckons
Reclused in my solitude
Walls will be built
Pain will leave
Suspicion will reign
Alone I will forever be
