Rebecca Larkin Poet Shape

Heartbreak -Version 1

Reality sucks,
Can I go back to sleep?
In my dreams everything is perfect,
But I guess that’s why they call them dreams
Because they shatter into thousands of pieces
Until they’re nothing more than sand, blown away by the wind.
I want you to be happy, even if that means I am not with you,
And the only thing I can do is hold back the tears
Pretend I’m happy, for when my eyes
Are closed I am happy;
Can’t I stay sleeping?
Reality Stings
