Among sheets and broken glass. Stale drinks and old ash. I lie awake trapped in frozen dreams. Longing for the day that I will find peace. The old portrait stares at me. Cheerful eyes bring emptiness. Round the decay it stands pristine. A time when everything was green. I was strong and whole and bright. Then silently came the night. I can't breathe. You reach your hands to me. A glimmer of hope. A mocking smile. You keep dragging me down. There comes a time. You lived for so long you feel safe. But dreams shatter. By a simple twist of fate. There you stand. A ghost refusing to fade away. Green turned into gray. I'll follow you to the grave. Can we be saved from days long gone?. Can we be saved from innocence lost?. I can't breathe. You reach your hands to me. A glimmer of hope. A mocking smile. You keep dragging me down
