Wish someone would be

Gentle with

Me

Show me some

Tenderness

Kindness

Love

Why can't I

Let go of

Fantasies

Stop dreaming of

Times that

Never

Come

Wake up

Face

Reality

Accept its

Coldness

Cynicism

Alone

Life would be

Much

Simpler

Bury the

Romantic

Say

Goodbye

But I can't

Let

Go

Keep on

Dreaming

Hoping for

Love

Being the

Foolish

Clown

Spinning tales

Dancing dances

Long

Dead

Holding onto

Dreams and

Smoke

Hoping for some

Magic in this

World of

Lite

Passion in a

Passionless

World

Hopes of the

Poets

All that is

Left

Someone has to

Remember other

Ways

Keep us from being

Totally lost from our

Hearts

Souls
