Broken I Love You's

Fractured pictures, torment my thoughts Minute moments from many years gone by Fleeting images, dreams of sorts Break through my defenses to make me cry Tiny person, a babe in arms Small, defenseless yet putting up a fight Already subjected to harm My eyes close quickly to drown out the sight Memories pressed between the pages of our dreams Sad times that can't be unwritten Bound into volumes worn smooth from our own tears Broken "I love you's" unspoken through the years Scowling faces, bruised and grazed knees Regret and remorse for all that I've done Frustrated failures everyone sees Raw emotion from losing a loved one Finding first love, losing it fast Desperate to fit in, trying last resorts Despair when friendships never last Disappointing results from school reports Memories pressed between the pages of our dreams Sad times that can't be unwritten Bound into volumes worn smooth from our own tears Broken "I love you's" unspoken through the years Leaving home to seek out new dreams Struggling to rise to expectations Finding that things aren't as they seemed Facing mounting trials and tribulations Money's tight there's never enough Marriage on the rocks where will this all end Misery as times are so tough Back on my own again without a friend Memories pressed between the pages of our dreams Sad times that can't be unwritten Bound into volumes worn smooth from our own tears Broken "I love you's" unspoken through the years I've lived a true and honest life Been both a lover and a wife I took the smooth with the rough For life is life, sometimes it's tough Memories pressed between the pages of our dreams Sad times that can't be unwritten Bound into volumes worn smooth from our own tears Broken "I love you's" unspoken through the years Broken "I love you's" unspoken through the years

Your writing is so raw and full of emotion and captivating; I keep coming back to see if there's more. I love the line "memories pressed between the pages of our dreams." John
