The Passionate Once

It all starts with an idea, that you can

Feelings come between now and then

Thoughts come running through your head

All the time is ripened for what could be said

Then it takes what was yours

It just breaks all your core

And you'll never know why

You gave in just for more

All the sights and the sores

Painful cries as they court

And you'll never know why

You take in, lust yet torn

 

Sometimes I fear the feeling of contentment

Of completion and accomplishment

Because afterwards I'll never know

If the passion dies, or if I'll still grow

Then it stops what you start

It just drops from the heart

And you'll never take back

What you gave just for art

All the lies and the lores

Faithful eyes now they tore

And you'll never know why

As you come back for more

 

And it starts as it the ends

The idea that you can't

As you say one goodnight

The last of all goodbyes

To the brush, to your pen

To all books that you've read

To the lovers that come

To the letters you've read

As you'll never come back

To create, you just can't

One last time, one last sigh

Close your eyes, one last breath

All the doors closing in

Right where we all begin

 

Our dreams come pure with uncertainty

When all doors are closed as answers can be

When everyone has turned their back on you

While the chance is null and you have no clue

That dream you have is yours alone

It only comes once, yet with you it's grown

It all starts with an idea, that you can

You were passionate once, embrace dreams once again
