The cherished dreams have all but stilled
The luster is all gone
Leaving me to wonder
How did it all go wrong
Hating how I really feel
Lost and out of place
Taking solace in the truth
That I've never really seen your face
What takes the sting of abandonment away
Is that we were never that close
Though your sweetness is the thing
That I will miss the most
Now when I close my eyes to sleep
Your presence won't be there
I will miss you truly
But I know you wil not care
So tonight I'll push aside
All those dreams of way back when
Put you right out of my mind
And never dream of you again

(Clapping) Bravo! It flowed nicely, the rhyming pattern was immensely done. Even for being tired!

You may be tired but your words flowed from your heart with lonliness, lost love, feelings of yesterday. soft gentle love you shared.
Dream reality, for yesterdays are gone, only today we have to enjoy, be happy, for its too short to live for yesterdays, and tomorrow is not here. Lovely.

How depressing¬ These are my favourite lines... and the first two, for some reason I cannot explain resonate with me the most.
Excellent work here...

and you do.....most definitely

this is full of meaning... so heartfelt..and it is at the times we seem to be most tired that we find our true selves.
You have idiots like me to occupy your time though... I may not replace the one you miss but I can at the very least make you laugh....
Lovessss
