Shattered Dreams

It's a touchy subject Kicked around like a ball As we begin to take into consideration The meaning of "true love" We also begin to realize its not a word, But a feeling. Just when you think the love of your life has been captured By the depth of your heart They break it. With what feels like a knife The same knife That took your father's life. Marked on the side With the name of Jesus Christ. "I love you" "Do you love me too?" Wasting what you think is a good idea Turns out to be your biggest fear You'll never want to love again When that special boy Shatters all your hopes and dreams Of ever finding someone who cares As much as they ever did Then again, did he ever really care? Confusion runs through your mind When you think about all the moments That you wanted to last a lifetime With that not-so-special boy Who broke your heart.

Lovely write Becca! The thing with dreams is that their physical manifestation acquires a shape of its own -they rarely turn out exactly us we would like. To love and lose is tough and only the resilience of the heart can begin to heal us. Nicely done!
