Dreams Fall Apart
Lies entangled in a web of deceit;
culminate in anger and self-defeat.
And walls erected to shield you from pain;
unintentionally blocked love's refrain.
Love demands patience; there is no shortcut;
even if it leaves a knot in your gut.
For doubt keeps anxieties well-nourished;
devastating dreams where hope once flourished.
When egos insist on what cannot be,
emotions get imprisoned with no key.
And as fears increase, nerves get tightly wound;
though you search for love, it cannot be found.
Betrayal means breaking the bonds of trust;
labeling love an extension of lust.
And overwhelmed by tears, dreams fall apart;
as a torrent of feelings drowns your heart.
