Slipping Away

What do you say to a world,
Shining and clear,
When it won't open up to you?
Sit and watch the cars pass by,
Shadows of life fade away.
Lights fall, friends fade,
Look away, refuse to face the day,
Reach desperately for the glimpse of what you once had,
Reach for the memory in your heart*,
Watch it slip away.
