Can you remember the days,
The days when we could live in peace?
I can't figure out what happened to this place,
Is it really gone along with all the memories?
The past memories have been faded, far gone.
Yet here they are, returning to haunt us,
No where to run, is this right, were we really wrong?
It's to late, gone to ashes to ashes from dust to dust.
And once that dust clears I long to see a new hope,
And here it comes, this figure is starting to appear,
I see her face, white as snow,
Can this be real? I can't see through these tears.
Yet she disappears before my very eyes,
Shes gone now,
And so is all the light,
Too much unsaid, not enough freedom allowed.
This is the world,
Unfair and overcrowded with fear.
Peace is outdated, nothing left but war.
All is dead in my eyes, I will shed no more tears.

It could use some editing so I'll work on that later.

I loved it. there is so much emotion in your words, and it changes so much, but everything flows really well. "This is the world,
Unfair and overcrowded with fear." those two lines are so true with the world today, and hold so much power in them. great write!
