Analysis of Far Away Dream
Far Away Dream
Love is a far away dream
A distant boat on a horizon
Hurt and loneliness
Ache in agony
Hopelessness glides
Slowly across the waves
In search of a peaceful shore
And my longing swells
In a restless tide
As I drift out to sea.
Despair becomes a dirge
Dripping in melancholy
Drenched with my weighty tears
From so much sadness
Crying beneath the sky
Validation eludes me
As solitude cages
My smile in a prison cell
A jail face appears
Where my dignity used to be.
In your space is darkness
Absence too great to measure
Hollows out my happiness
Laughter long gone
Runs away an orphan
My head in my hands
Echoes weeping in silence
Your lover’s kiss is
A foreign object
Fallen from my lips.
Nighttime now abides with me
And sleep eludes
A lost child of innocence
Your embrace gone
I wrap myself
Around in a blanket of
Worn out wishes
Affection replaced by
Your icy rejection
Love is a far away dream.
