The Pursuit of Hollow Dreams

Trails and rails, and winding roads Empty barns, abandoned abodes I've grown too tired to bear this load In this world, I have no place My path has led me, far from home I find no comfort as I roam Away from all the love I've known I'm lost without a trace Along this path I wander, aimless. To history, I shall be nameless For hollow were the dreams I've sought The right direction, I know not. Repressed the jest that brought me smiles My sorrow grows with passing miles Upon myself, Ive brought these trials I haven't the strength to face I left the place where I belong Too stubborn to admit I'm wrong Despair is for those, who wait too long There are too many steps to retrace Disillusioned by my hopes My soul is not equipped to cope For hollow were the dreams I've sought Of inspiration, I know not. Tomorrow my sorrow shall grow even more So distant the faces of those I adore So deep is this anguish it clinches my core I long for a loving embrace All that I've gained, I would eagerly trade For a chance to erase,the mistakes I have made and return to their arms before memories fade I ask this of God by his grace Solitude is the burden of pride and destiny is a heartless guide For hollow were the dreams I've sought. My destination, I know not.
