what dreams we had
so long ago
and now the tide moves on.

a moment frozen,
a thought unspoken
a memory that holds true.

a feeling left ungratified,
disappointment
and denial.

regret,
and fear of pain
once thought,
a chain which binded you.

what dreams we had
so long ago
and now the tide moves on.

but slowly fall the seasons
a leaf,
a flake,
the sun.

unto a new day
time moves on
as thoughts and dreams
will run.

what dreams we had
so long ago
and now the tide moves on.

hold onto laughter
love,
and light.

release the pain
your heart's
strong fight.

remember wisdom,
faith,
and trust.

while all of anger
vanishes,
to dust.

what dreams we had
so long ago
and now the tide moves on.

You gaze in my direction
A look void of affection
From your eyes the hatred does pour
I’d rather be facing, the barrel of a 12 bore
Armed, dangerous and primed at the trigger
This target that I am couldn’t get any bigger
I’ll take no chances
Ignore all, of your ungratified glances

The enemy
Is all I can be
It’s all you can see
That is why
I am not free
Ever since I had
No more love to decree

It is but a sad ending
It was always our cause
That I was defending
But the messages you were sending
Had my heart breaking
My mind twisting and bending
A love like this
I’ll not be recommending

So keep your stare
Your look of contempt
For my eyes see no more
Of the barrage that does not relent
Submission not on the cards
Victory in defeat never a concern
But you have rearranged,  altered and destroyed
Every piece of love I ever employed
So look no more in my direction
And keep your abundance of afflicted affection
