Failing When It Does Matter

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

It hurts me that I've seen too late
there was a dream for me to grasp
while fleeing into erratic scenes
I missed the chance in front of me

   and then you left
   I failed the test
   and all that I had meant
   destroyed by loss of sense

"easy living" is a lie
when you ever have to try
and see it turn away for now
and see it turn away for ever

sometimes words mean more than words
 but it's hard to recognize
and not to lose yourself in emptiness
 and miss the time it counts

so is this such a meaning
or another one behind
if we don't try to live them
do dreams ever come true?
