Doubt now reigns where once was only hope.
Inside I writhe and twist in anguished pain.
Surprises tie my heart like rotted rope,
And dreams are faded out by pouring rain.
Perhaps all things have changed inside a mind;
Perhaps what was is now no longer there.
Or maybe someone wonders what they’ll find,
If only courage wells, and they can dare.
Now once upon a time their dreams were dreamed,
They seemed so real to ones so young and pure.
Might they not have been what they had seemed,
Escape then draws them in with its own lure.
Now, as time hangs heavy in the lee,
The answers that I want seem not to be.
