Strings pulled, dancing to a tune
Mouth speaks, not my words
Thoughts formed, not conveyed
Feelings ignored, they don't exist
Empty, mindless, vacant stare, soulless eyes
Hollow shell
Dreams float through my fingers
I stand and watch as my dreams blow away
Close my eyes, wishing I held on just a little bit tighter
Dreams caught on the breath of wind
I have one more chance to catch my vision
This time I'm not letting go
My dreams return, with both hands
I reach out and retrieve
What is mine
