Share your empathy of unbridled dreamlands my dear friend and help me heal my abandoned, decrepit heart with its peeling, dangling memories in my troubled mind Give me faith for shattered wishes lead me to meadows of pulsating heartbeats so I may rest my battered spirit in the sun's gentle glow to find the elation of serenity without pain where I'll drink the elixir of forgotten promises that linger still, on the edge of reality like an unwanted scent of decay drifting across the cobwebs of love's illusion where my heart was left ramshackled from the lips of a stranger's breathless kiss which dripped honey upon the mouth of betrayal to leave me a fool in a cold, barren tragedy Help me, my dear friend, cling to this moment of survival and not allow me to grovel on the ground of disrepair before I fall away from the world in a remorseful cloud of suffering Give me hope and reasons for peaceful constraint so my broken heart can leave this realm of dim-lit shadows that haunt my dejected soul Wipe away my tear-filled pain with your hands of comfort so I may watch the sunrise again and find light to repair the pieces of my world that lay in my decrepit heart in need of repair
