Dreams Disappear

As hopes and dreams disappear, I am left gasping for air. For as they slowly vanish, reality's hard to bear. Held hostage by your sweet smile, I'm a prisoner of love. And as anxiety grows, I seek guidance from above. In a fit of jealousy, my anger betrayed my heart. And my unrequited love, will be what drives us apart. I shared my inner feelings, but they were used against me. And I realize the truth will never set my heart free. Reeling from rejection's sting, I was wounded to my core. For I was devastated, shunned by the one I adore.

This is beautiful in its very own sadness, Emile. It is not only the pain of losing out on somebody you love, but also the fact that you feel the blame for it. #7 All the best for this month of April. // paul
