Shake My Soul...

Time fades,
memories remain
as constant as the Northern Star
this anguished soul will never change
for the strain would be too great...
The stooped shoulders and back bent
by the tears, years and fears
could not bear one more cross...

So i must rearrange
what others might see as strange
so some things may be different,
while the whole remains the same
how to grab a crazy dream
and how not to go insane,
how to give all you have
without losing all but your name
how to be all and nothing,
when i'm just a ghost flitting by
maybe i am just your imagination...
that little tear in the corner of your eye...
