A Shattered Dream
The cool wind blowing lightly on her
Curtain carressing her softly
As she lies on her cozy bed
Thinking and dreaming away
Slowly till she lazily closes her eyes
Not long does she visualize beautiful images...
Oh, she's on a vast grassland
With her pretty boy besides her
While she's in his sweet embrace
Both of them looking up at the sky
Breathing in the fresh air
Feeling the cool breeze
Listening to the chirping of birds
The running of water in the nearby stream
And the rustling of trees
She tells him
"Someday, I'm going to give you a baby girl!"
He just looks at her with a smile
And she smiles in return with a wide grin
She's never been so happy in her life
Soon after, she falls asleep
Letting out little snores softly
He too does the same
Aww...such a bliss...
JUST THEN......
Dark clouds fill the sky
They're awoken by a loud sound
Thunders clap and lightning strike
Strong wind is howling eerily
Everywhere is so dark and scary
There's no one in sight
Large raindrops beat hard on them
Everything is blowing away
She has an uneasy feeling
Sensing the danger
She grabs him tightly
For fear of losing him
But he slips away from her arms
Try as she may to grab hold of his hands
To no avail, he's been taken away by the wind
All she can see is his sadness
She shouts and screams for him
But he's no longer in sight
Tears still streaming down her face
Trying to hold on to a tree
Afraid that he can't find her
When she's not there
For what seems like hours
Everything is finally back to normal
Calm and peaceful once again
She can see the daylight
Birds come flocking around
Stream continue its usual path
But he's no longer there with her
Not anymore, try hard as she believes
Still feels his presence lingering beside her
Shuddering from the cold
Still she refuses to move away
From the same patch of grassland
Where sweet memories lie
Hoping and yearning for a miracle
That he'll be back one day
And stays by her side
Never to leave ever again
Days and nights pass
Tears run dry from her now swollen eyes
Alone and scared as she may
Realization dawns upon her
To her dismay...
Her dream has been shattered
She opens her eyes back to reality
Thinking for a moment
Amaze by her vivid imagination
Tears attempting to well up
Touched by the sad story
There's only one thing
That's going through her mind right then
"I want no shattered dream..."
