The Empty Flow

This garden will never bloom
 The moments that shone are far
 This ocean no longer blue
 Conceals all beauty
 Drowns us in gloom
 Pale ghosts in the shadows
 Dead faces in the water
 Barren spaces left behind
 Melt into waves
 In the empty flow
 Everlasting stains
 A quiet solitude
 Tension wanes within
 I am as empty as the ocean
 The promises I made for you
 Part from the seams too soon
 Pipe-dreams torn apart
 Slowly pass on
 Vanish for good
 Vanish for good
 The world is tranquil now
 Close your weary eyes
 Let sleep wash away
 This desolate reality
 Tell you a fairy tale
 Tell realities apart
 This is our haven
 Within this quiet room
 You'll be safe
 Until the dreams escape
 The dreams always escape
 Am I still alive?
