"Collection Of my Past"
In the beginning I thought,
"And No One Cares".
Every time I turned around,
I was "Crying... Crying".
Then even as I wandered,
My heart was in  "Dimension Seven".

I sang such soulfull songs and cried,
"Don't Take Away My Dreams".
As I stumbled through my life,
I knew I had "Feelings Of Love".
But sometimes I wondered,
And felt "I Can't Hear Their Songs".

Waiting is such a long bother,
But whatever comes "I Know We Will".
And as I go about my way,
I know you will "Keep Me Alive".
I've suffered many things,
Including "Love Lost, Love Gone".

One thing that never fails,
Is "Memories Keep Haunting Me".
What I really need,
Is a "Prayer Of Love".
For in the privacy of my mind,
Are "Secret Dreams, Lonely Dreams".

One thing's definately for sure,
I know it to be "This Time, Forever".
Even if the morning never comes,
I will not let "Troubles" linger.
And when the sunlight returns,
I will not again ask, "Will I Ever See Hope".

Whatever comes my way,
I will try not to seek "Revenge".
For there is far more to life,
Than to dwell on the past.
So I have put down all the related words,
And made a collection of my past.
