where hopes are sold
some tears are bargained
and smiles are stored
where dreams are built
and weighed up on scale.
Aims are lowered, prayers are failed
these places are in darkness too
like hearts often do
with nothing left to prove
motioned nowhere
not known where to leave
too scared to ask, downed;
peaceful days are all left back
once you pass this lane
call it a curse or bliss, unchained
you’ll never find yourself sane
these words are just a drop
of endless stories untold
I’ve seen some places
where dreams are sold.
