Dream Life

                                          We were like       the ranging sea,       a winter love       that could not be. Our voices were        the ocean's roar,        we cried until        we could cry no more. We mocked the storms         and they fell the trees,         our broken limbs         among scattered leaves. The tides had shown          what we did not heed,          the water holds---          and then recedes.

                                           Who we really are from the inside?    What stories we have buried What are we trying to hide? Saying : I am totally okay Even when a thousand times we cried             Busy in faking perfection Just to fuel the futile pride? and in between of all that laughter    There is a thing that I have realized        That the happiest face among us Are the ones who have already died.

                                             They say there is a reason. They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel. For no-one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried. Gone from home that smiling face, Those cheerful, happy ways, The heart that won so many friends, I bygone Happy days. We want to tell you something. So there won't be any doubt. You're so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without. We cannot bring the old days back. When we were all together. The family chain is broken now, But memories live forever.
