Broken Man

years seem to go away
only bitterness remain
alone in the dark
only my thoughts keep me company

broken man
with broken dreams
this isn't what I expected
from my life

tears...like flood
they are dry and invisible
memories torment me
what once was is now gone

dreaming away this life
I no longer am the same my friend
dreaming away this dream
I am no longer sane

sleepless nights
lifeless days
my strength has faded
as I look my life from distance

to dream an impossible dream
moments of clarity I had
times when sorrow was just a guest
and not my master

beyond eternity
my path is set
to disappear from world of pain
no longer I must struggle to exist
