Staring, wondering, hoping, dreaming,

Thinking of a life I could have.

Thinking, achieving, lusting, screaming,

Longing for the Perfect Love.

Thinking of chances I do not have,

Staring into the memorizing night,

Wondering what would happen,

Achieving none of what I desire.

Hoping that someday I will meet him,

Lusting for the long night we could have,

Dreaming of a life with hope,

Screaming in solitude, the pain I feel.

This is all my everyday life,

I cannot stand to live within dreams,

But I won’t accept anything less,

Than what I hope within my screams.
