Seems I am forever
Waking to
Find my
Dreams slipping off
Into the night
Another one
Lost
    
Hate to slip off to
Sleep
Anymore
Don't want to
See another one
Drift
Away
     
So tired of losing
Never being
Right
Always on the wrong side
Never holding the
Winning
Hand
     
Hardened me
Made me look
Inside
And that has made me a
Better human
More aware of
Life
     
But it's also led me to be
Cold and
Cynical
Always protecting myself
Never really believing in
Anything
Anymore
     
Has its advantages
But it makes for a
Lonelier life
Keeping my love to
Myself
Afraid to give my
Heart
     
Know if I let her in
She'll just head
Back out again
No one is going to
Stick around
Love me through it
All
      
All I got is me
All I can trust is
Myself
No one else who can be
Relied upon
No one else who's
Going to care
      
Wish I could regain a
Bit of
Innocence
Return to more
Foolish times when I
Believed in
Love
     
But then I'd have to
Go through it all
Again
Have my heart drug
Through the mud
One more
Time
      
So I set it
Up on the
Shelf
Let it collect dust
Stop letting it be
Stepped
On
     
Pass my time
Living with the
Superficial
Forget about that
Which runs deeper
Close to the
Heart
     
Time of cold
Time for being
Hardened
All my edges
Honed so sharp
Forbidding any
Touch
