Dream of You

There's nothing written in the stars,

I've not experienced the beyond;
there's only this ache in my heart

which will dissipate when I'm gone.


There's only lost thoughts in the air,

random emotions haunting me.

There's only sadness and despair;

I'm swimming in a lonely sea.


I cannot spot that peaceful shore

where we can finally meet and share;

there's only hunger, only war,

no higher justice, nothing fair.


There is no answer to the questions

that keep eating up my brain,

only illusions of perception

just briefly relieving my pain.


I hear a crowd that hopes and prays

while preachers sin their words away;

as our meat rots, our souls decay,

and great creations fall and fade.


I've not seen paradise or hell,

yet I still yearn for something true

but you, my love, are lost as well

and I can only dream of you.
