In shadowed streets, I wander miles,
A man who lost the gift of smiles.
The world around me, cold and stark,
I drift alone within the dark.
Drowning in my dreams—what's killing me?
Memories of a past I cannot flee.
My heart is barren—is this make-believe?
Echoes of a love I once believed.
I'm fading in my mind; does she miss me?
A fractured soul that longs to break free.
I need to shatter, then remake myself,
Falling apart with no one to help.
I'm the killer of my dreams, of smiles,
A lost boy wandering endless trials.
Beneath a sky once bright and blue,
Bleeds the hues of sorrow's hue.
Blood of blue and blue of blood,
A twisted river, a silent flood.
Words entwined in cryptic art,
Unraveling threads of a broken heart.
Sanity slips through open hands,
Like grains of time or shifting sands.
The more I seek, the less I find,
Lost within this labyrinthine mind.
Laughter fades, the colors die,
Leaving shadows to occupy.
In a world that feels no longer worthwhile,
I stand alone—the killer of smiles.
