The Biggest Loss of All

The biggest loss of all
 Is what dies inside of you
 While you live
 During a lifetime
 Pieces of you
 Fall to dust
 No changes are to be made
 The damage is already inflicted
 Dreams slowly fading away
 With time they wither, decay
 Like the autumn leaves
 At the doorstep of winter
 Other obstacles seem so trivial
 Faced with the light within
 Perishing
 As the decades pass
 You realize what
 You've lost
 These chains will not break
 Your self so very restricted
 The biggest loss of all
 Is what dies inside of you
 While you live
 The childish sparkle
 Succumbs with age
 Such a shame
 Dreams slowly fading away
 With time they wither, decay
 Like the autumn leaves
 At the doorstep of winter
 There is no way to be saved
 Your soul was already convicted
