Words and Dreams

I wanted to make a point that words not only have a short-term, but have a long-term effect on someone's mind.

Words come and go,

Just as the spring,

But the words and their meanings

Can last eternity

You speak of love

And of hate, the same

Yet you shut out hope

as an outdated grace

When you were young

You had dreams to be great

But the forge of life

Has caused them to fade

Now you are getting older

And wiser, some might say

But your life has lost its purpose

Making this your last day

You pull through a bit longer

Hoping to last the night

But near the break of dawn

You begin to lose the fight

When the clock hit twelve

You couldn't even stand

And facing the mirror, you bled

And cried with gun in hand
