"Dreams... they scatter"

our dreams they scatter
as we draw near
body rittled and broken
its not death we fear
my eyes they're open
as I'm lying here
shedding hopes
torn from our backs
like butterfly wings
the flame goes out
as the end draws near
I lay awake
watching you
my eyes made heavy
with unshed tears
"it'll be ok "
I know that's what you want to hear
the words they scatter
before they reach my lips
my voice cracks and breaks
10 years seems not long at all
when that's all you've got to live
my tomorrows are running out
the poison eats away at my ragged body
18 years seems so long ago
it was just yesterday I opened my eyes
its not the end I fear
its the things I might forget
the friends you leave behind
all hopes they scatter as death draws near
sitting at the edge of life
its hard just trying to keep my eyes open
even to look at you

So sad! But the tone is beautifully haunting...
