Chapter 15: I know why the caged Reaper Sings
You Never Called Me
You must remember me.
The doubt in the darkness.
The millions of could have been
The Countless should of been.
The girl you didn’t have
the guts to approach.
The brass ring,
you hesitated to reach for.
The goal you felt out of reach.
You called me
the impossible dream
You called me
the uncrossable stream.
Unfortunately, in the end
you never really called for me....
did you?
How many times
did you stare,
How many times
did you want and need?
I could have
been yours,
I could have
been everything to you.
Afraid of shun
Afraid of failure
You never tried.
You called me
the impossible dream
You called me
the uncross able stream.
Unfortunately, in the end
you never really called for me
did you?
What is that thing,
What is that trigger, that instant
That makes us choose between glory and despair...
Between what was...
and what could have been?
How many times does it play over in our minds?
What makes us turn away from reaching for it all...
and makes us lament what might have been?
The stars
could have been your oyster...
The planet
your play thing...
But you never felt you could...
So why despair in what could have been?
You called me
the impossible dream
You called me
the uncross able stream.
Unfortunately, in the end
you never really called for me....
did you?
