Dark nights with hollow cries
Shadows rolling around on the ground  
with false pretense  
walls are closing in with clouds of gray
why hopes and dreams fade  
what a masterpiece of Long days
in a world of grey
hours go on and on
without love without a kind word
Time just stretches on
with the sound of rain
pouring down in the darkest hours
a dark life of principles
of what is right and wrong
of childish pity of adults playing
on hearts ignoring
with false pretense
Sad days swaying
at my heart again
My thoughts are cold
with feelings of true loneliness
oozing away in lost dreams
lost in darkness
bruising my body
in arguments all over again.
