Longing for a Forgotten Past
Ayman Lafaz
in lost times i dwell
my memory fails me
trying to go back
to a lost and peaceful era
bereaved once more
for i'm not fit for this world
guided by a light
to where spirits roam free
confused by a terror filled world
i long for a time i don't remember
trying to escape for a last time
filled by an empty hope
no light remain on earth
lost our way again
weighed by a life full of mistakes
weakened and drained
i still find comfort
in this long gone past
a past where all had colour
all things were of meaning
nothing was in vain
somedays i doubt
this hopeful dream
but my silly wishs keep me going
deep down i know it's all fake
still i hang on
to this heavenly realm
i know that life
is all pain in vain
no light remain on earth
