Can you tell me my friend <br />What dreams really are <br />Let me put an end <br />To these stupid thoughts of yours <br /> <br />Dreams depict my long departed hope <br />For everything I’d wish it would come true <br />They tighten up around my neck the rope <br />Can’t you see they’re killing me, you fool! <br /> <br />They impulsively make me feel <br />That the ashes can turn into something solid once again <br />That there might be some life left for me to steal <br />And with such misconceptions I rush to encounter the dead <br /> <br />A lethal virus it is, that warps my brain cells <br />And devours my existence <br />Venom that brings me closer to the tolling of the bells <br />And deceives me with persistence <br /> <br />Every dream brings me one step closer to the end <br />For it diverges from my reality <br />Every dream brings me one step closer to the end <br />For it reminds me of this life’s vanity<br /><br />Spiros Mar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/every-dream-brings-me-one-step-closer-to-the-end/
