FADING AWAY

shiny balloon in the sky
holding on by a tether
the reflections in your skin : mysterious
as if we are looking into a window
a window into another dimension
another world i wish i could disappear into
to leave this world and enter in the sphere
in that dimension everyone knows each other
but not in the way they do in this dimension
in there everyone are friends, there are no enemies
no horrible pasts to keep you separated from another
no fears that linger in this strange utopia
there is no more death or sickness
it is so peaceful and perfect
but yet it is only just a dream
and the balloon deflates slowly by years
and the dream fades along with it
