Dust of Hope

I fight for what I believe in

And I had believed in us.

Guns drawn,

I battled everyday.

"For all eternity!"

I had sworn.

For years I spent

by your side,

through fire, mist and storm.

But the clock tocked

and coated your heart with the

dust of our own dying hopes.

You built this fortress

high n might,

I stood outside with the ruins.

You built it to shield away

the battlecries,

but it shielded away

your own.

I fought the beasts

of your soul;

this war, I fought alone.

But they lashed out

breathing fire,

and scorched away my all.

My cries fr help,

swallowed by pride,

I kept them all inside.

But the fire you spat

burned me more

than their blazing pyre.

I had once believed in us

even separated by walls.

But you prove me wrong,

now and again.

And I ceased to try at all.

I had then believe that we

could together climb those walls.

Now the fortress collapsed,

turned rubble to dust

And I let it take the fall.
