Drown
You left me here,
in the boat of your dreams,
on the sea of fading memories.
Here I am, alone at last,
and all I taste is dust.
The ancient dust of day-old hopes.
These hopes were not my own,
but they were your's
that you couldn't fulfill.
So I did, and now I'm done.
Done with life;
finished with caring.
I've given up my wishes.
I tryed so hard
to be what you wanted.
I succeeded; I followed your mission.
But here I am.
And I've lost myself.
No more life to lead my own.
Your boat does leak,
and I'm sinking now
into memories and dust.

"Yet ah! why should they know their fate? <br /> Since sorrow never comes too late, <br /> And happiness too swiftly flies. <br /> Thought would destroy their paradise. <br /> No more; where ignorance is bliss, <br /> 'Tis folly to be wise." - Thomas Gray, exerpt from 'An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard'
