THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)

do you remember me?
do you know who I am?
since you left I have no life
and I don't give a damn

now I'm so vulnerable
you took away my shield
anyone can take me now
and all I do is yield



do you remember me?
I dreamed the holy dreams
eternal love in life
was it as meaningless as it seems?

I gave you all I had
everything I was inside
I trusted you more than myself
I wouldn't believe you lied


and when you locked me out
with nothing but the street
I just laid down and died
I just accepted defeat

have I chosen amnesia
rather than remember the pain?
what's going on in my brain?
have I gone insane?


somewhere deep inside
a voice is calling me
asking questions without answers
was I better than this?
was I something to see?

was I someone worthwhile?
did I inspire a smile?
was there more than this pain?
was there more than distain?




is this destiny?
is this my choice?
is this my life?
  is this my voice?...





do you remember me?
do you know why I'm here
I thought it was to care
I thought it was to share

but everything I did
failed every way I tried
now I am lost
I think I've died
did I drown in all the tears I cried?


I don't hear music
I don't feel alive
I don't understand words
I feel some thing died
was it me?
how will I ever know?
I am a garden
  that forgot how to grow...

and scorned now I hug the ground
afraid to look around
afraid to feel
afraid to think
  afraid to hear a sound...

...

do... you... re... member me?
please tell me who I am
did anyone ever know?
did you ever understand?


do you remember me?
please show me that you care
  did anyone ever...







was I here?
