The sunflower Is

as time goes by I see the sunflowers losing their colors
no more laughter I can share to see them bright looking upon me
the scars of betrayal
the lies and deceit, we all share
the suns and the flowers don’t shine on me anymore
is it that the sun is coming on another side in the mornings,
is it that I am looking the wrong place

my pace, my air, my being are not the same,
I get confused, I get mad, I don’t know what I get when I am not there
here loneliness has welcome me, and a few of her friends
here some souls walk my way yet I walk alone
some are just hanging until their ride comes along,
others are just teasing the time,
none of them is mine

the illusion, the dream dies with each passing day
the promises are broken, the tears forgotten, and the blood stained
the scars say hi again, they like that
they come and go just to tell me not to forget, not to love, not to give in
I'm standing still as everything goes by and I don’t know where else to go
if the answer was mine
if the dream was mine
the tears are coming down, tearing up my soul
I feel helpless, the distance betrayed me, I betrayed myself
I betrayed the sunflowers

Say hello to the fool, say hello to me
narrow-minded, blinded and deaf, unable to say what you need to hear
unable to understand that in my life there is so much more than what I see
the sunflowers shown me the way and
yet I still think that it was my fault that they lost their color to me
they are part of the dream, or maybe just a lie I love telling to myself
if only I could know
if only I could speak
if only I could see
what I've done has no forgiveness, and neither the other things,
but in my heart I don’t know which is worse
in my heart I don’t know what I will do
will I want to see the sunflowers again?
Will I walk away from them?

please help me
Oh lovely dream that eludes my thoughts you were once oh so clear in my head
I lost you come to me let me see you, bring yourself to me
allow me be happy again, because since I lost the sunflowers
darkness has invaded me claiming the very best out of me

oh my dream, come I beg of you
make me hole again to see the light and write to you the thousand words and more
I dedicate only to you
