with every tear that falls you relive life's worst nightmares once more and all your dreams become torn fantasies. all hope, vanished with the wind for tomorrow may never dawn again well, at least not in this lifetime. not my mother or my father even a dog you would not spare yet now you expect me to survive in shreaded reality and re-lived darkness. maybe i have the stregnth to live today but tommorow, am destined to put out my torch. sad as it is my parting words, not a goodbye as they all seem to say but a teardrop i leave behind.
