Dreams Defiled


Soft tears stream down her stricken face, 
She sighs and whimpers like a child, 
Her heartbroken frame, one can trace, 
Soft tears stream down her stricken face, 
In sorrow's shadow, sobs take space, 
Wet whines and wails, she's weeping wild, 
Soft tears stream down her stricken face, 
She sighs and whimpers like a child;

Soft tears stream down her stricken face, 
Her heartbroken frame, one can trace, 
In sorrow's shadow, sobs take space, 
She sighs and whimpers like a child, 
Wet whines and wails, she's weeping wild, 
Despondent, her dreams are defiled.
