I remember the dream that gave release
It once was common and expected
Now would be unexpected and uncommon
Time has crushed that warm emotion

That feeling that was intimate and mutual
Is now a distant memory
I feel the coldness grow each day
Crawling up my skin

I railed at the fates once
Cried tears of frustration
Till the well of tears dried up
And hopelessness became my life

I missed that common and natural high
For so very long
An addiction I longed to resume
Until time deleted the cravings

I float through the days
Untouched and without pleasures
Just alive enough to remember
And dead enough not to care.
