Yes, I used to dream, many dreams fantastical.
I used to laugh, I used to care and I used to love.
I used to gaze at twinkles, through endless dark nights.
Now on the days when the fog lifts and the moon shines through, reminisce is all I do.
I am the left over from a banquet, stale and foresaken.
I can't leave and I have overstayed my welcome.
I am the crooked smile in a sea of grimaces.
I am the mad man sulking in the corner, enraged but smiling.
I am the nightmare that ends a night of fitful sleep.
