I am not what I once was.
Ambition has flited away as ash does from a dying fire.
Confidence no longer calls my heart home.
Haunted by the shade of my former self, I cannot deny that I miss the strength my body once bore.
I am sorry that all I have left to give is less than you deserve.
To the next generation,
I have dreamt of a future I will never see,
But one that you will live.
I’ve seen you reaching for our star,
Cupping it in your hardened hands,
Whispering to it a dream you’ve had,
A dream beyond even your reach.
I know not where we will end.
For that is hidden in our dreams,
And for those that come after us to find.
Were all of your words a lie? Or just the ones you said to get what you wanted?
-A Fool, Melancholy Pier Across the Emerald Sea.
I am happily lost without you. Maybe now, I can find myself.
-A Fool, Upon the Sands of Known Uncertainty.
If I could live in a dream, let it be a dream without you in it.
-A Fool, to a Dwelling Angel of the Deep.
