Dream Catcher
I see a window of the past
It suffocates me
Doesn’t even have a voice
Yet I am hypnotized
I open this closed window
The stars still in my view
I’m drenched in sorrow again
My heart stops
My tears dry up
I trace the night sky with my fingers
But it’s still beyond my reach
Though I might wish
Using all my might
I’ll never reach that glow
Even a ray of light won’t be my guide
I’m only burned by its flames
My heart cries out
My tears overflow
I blindly reach out my hand to the night sky
But it won’t reach now
Not that it’s sad and painful
But it’s a strong distant desire
Even if I change anything now
Nothing just vanishes into thin air
My chest tightens
The window of my past drives my desires forward
Even though I can’t fly I still move on
Dragging my injured leg on this thorny path I’m on now
I reach out to the night sky in my dreams
I’ve touched the stars
My heart beams bright
My tears stop
The past can’t be undone
But what will happen in the future
Is within my reach
