Dead Dreams
Expecting the most voluminous detail in an effortless act
Building up, hoping, and imaging the perfect situation
Floating on a mesmerizing playback
Words
Thoughts
Ideas
Lingering and Lingering and Lingering and Lingering
On and on and on, until the time hits too late
and the read numbers on the clock shoot you.
In a deep rendering hole, feeling left behind
Forgotten in a past that was supposed to feel relived.
Hopeless the feeling afterward
Broken from the drifting cloud that fades to rain
Lightly falling, as if it were fighting gravity
Questioning the laws of Newton
The laws of mankind
The lost of mankind
The distractedness of concentrating minds…
Rendering and Facings and Hiding, and Fighting
Hopeless is the world at the view of the broken dream
Slit in two, thousands of pieces on both sides
Laying in the ground and overtime decaying,
rotting,
feeding the drowning Fungus
Feeding the thought that never became
The thought that never was
The thought that brought life
The dreadful Death
Slowly eating
Slowly growing
Slowly gaining the empty spaces left of hope
Penetrating itself like a virus
Filling that world [slowly]
That sick disgusted world that Had hope
That Had life
All due to the multitude of broken hopes
Of broken dreams
Of Complete people that never realize the depth of an action so deep
So deep
So deep, to someone stitched and taped together
And to think it all starts with a Dream
A wonderful fantasy of a Dream that becomes tainted
Fucked.
In ways unbearable
To quickly fall in multitudes
The Wonderful Dream that lays forever asleep in a ground of dirt and spit.
A Dead Dream.
A Dream that was fertilized but never Born
A Dream that Was Alive, but did not Live.
