A fading dream

I used to see forever clear

A future bright a life held near

I thought at last I’d found my place

A love where fear could leave no trace

But now that picture starts to fade

Beneath the doubts that have been made

The future once so full of light

Is disappearing out of sight

My security has come undone

My certainty replaced by none

The trust I gave without a guard

Now lies there bruised and broken hard

I wanted different more than most

Instead I’m fighting every ghost

I wanted truth to quiet my head

Not question every word you said

And still I love with all I am

Still reach for you with shaking hands

That’s what makes this hurt so deep

I love the thing I fear I’ll keep

Losing slowly piece by piece

Begging my own mind for peace

Because once trust begins to die

Even beautiful words feel like a lie

So here I stand afraid to see

What waits ahead for you and me

Where once forever waited bright

There’s only fog consuming light

I wish I knew which way we’d go

I wish my heart could simply know

But all I have is uncertainty

And fading dreams of you and me.
