I have always wondered about this life in which we dwell
A life of shadows ,shadows we thought we knew so well
We lived shrouded within the memory of one throbbing wound
Haunted by the pain ,unable to let go ,unable to conclude
Captured within two different realms ,two fearsome worlds
Blinded from a truth that the darkness ruthlessly unfolds
Veiled within the shadows are the pits where we once fell
Forced to upfront our fears and the things we could not tell
The victims of our struggle were the memories we ceased to borrow
They were the withering days that turned out to be so hollow
Our deferred dreams died as we strived along the way
At some point of time ,there was not so much to say
Walking through the rain with the agony of remembering
Falling every second from the pain of comprehending
Leaving behind desolate footsteps in a path that was never trodden before
Spreading the remnants of the hopes we failed to ensure
Always was there the pungent recognition of what we did waste
The poignancy of our heartache was all that was there to taste
And, thus, we kept tracing a bittersweet mirage of what could have been
Despite the many times we stumbled ,
we kept chasing a dream we failed to win
And now we are still running after the shadows of the shadow
Still ,we are mistaking them for real
Now we are no more innocent nor ardent nor callow
Standing at a standstill , no more able to truly feel
