Love Among The Ruins

​

Lost among the ruins
of future days long past
Looking for the promise
of dreams that never last

​

Hope that springs eternal
has come and now is gone
Time is of the essence
but time is moving on

​

Prayers that go unanswered
and nights that last all day
Hearts both torn and broken
what more is there to say

​

Love among the ruins
like shards of broken glass
Sharp and painful memories
of happiness long past

​

Life is but a nightmare
impossible to wake
Shackled to the heartache
impossible to break

​

Mornings are all evenings
the sun will never shine
Silence the companion
a music without rhyme

​

Love is an illusion
forever lost in time
Lost is the intrusion
forever on the mind

​

Life among the ruins
impossible to live
Love among the ruins
impossible to give

​

Death is now the victory
all sorrow swept away
Take me now and quickly
what more is there to say
