I live in the spaces between the words
Where a thousand thousand dreams die
Where the angels dance on their pins

I live with the missed heartbeats
Gathered around the fireflies light
We sing the songs of forgotten pasts

Around me my brothers do lie
Spaced around us our lost dreams
The cries keep us awake in twilight

The spaces strech out before me
Cold eyes, Cold faces, my comrades
I see no end for there is no end

I live in the spaces between the words
Surrounded by brothers who sleep eternal
And here I am alone.

I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith

Very dramatic with a tinge of gloomy hopelessness. Interesting to read so much in between your lines. I like this a lot Walter.

Touch, but don't look

Sad, melancholy tone here. I relate. What does that say about me, huh?
