Carrying the Wind

Did we look past us
Letting us fall for it?
Did we try to shape a better world
With the illusion we'd live to see it?
Did we look for a little ray of sunlight
Slowly pricking through the horizon
With the expectation of a guide?
We cried, alas! Cried
For we held on to a blank hope
Wept at the death of love
Beheld lost dreams
We shunned humanity
And all the we hoped for
we realised it too late:
We were simply carrying the wind.
