By: Santos Taíno Santiago
Something inside me killed my dream
I remember them like yesterday’s news
Passing by the moment
Passing like a hail storm
Leaving the cold drops to melt on the pavement
Turning into water
Washed away by the blowing wind
Something inside me killed my dreams
I remember them slightly
Like the few times I was held tightly
Then let go briefly
Yearning for the hugs that never came
Something inside me killed my dreams
I remember them just for a moment
They enter my mind
Then quickly forgotten
Like a pair of old Pro Keds
Hanging on the telephone line
I’ve forgotten a dream
Which, one day, I dared call mine
Something inside me killed my dream
I don’t know where my dream lost life
Was it by the gutter
Where I bled
Trying to cling to life?
Or with my hands on the wall?
“Assume the position!” he said
Something inside me killed my dream
Nothing more can be said of the dread
Something inside me killed my dream
I can’t recall it to mind
After all the years gone by
I try, I try and I try
To forget the dream
That slowly inside
Found a way to die
Something inside me killed my dream
