Lost...

Another day wasted
another day lost
a price to be paid at dearest cost
dreams unfulfilled
hopes gone away
another chance not taken
is all I can say

Another path ventured
a future unknown
a heart whispers softly
beyond flesh and bone

One breath slowly taken
two eyes open wide
as minutes turn to hours
more wishes set aside

if not for the challenge
if not for the pain
if not for the doubts
that come with the rain
if not for the reasons
that find their way through
to poison the magic of all one could do

another day wasted
another day lost...
tis only on the final chime
will life reveal the cost.
