The Woman of My Dreams

My last wife.....
(Hey, you heard me right,
I'd had a few practice runs....)
She was the woman,
of my dreams....

But sometimes things
are not what one seems,
It didn't take long,
For the torture to start,
Try to please her, as I may,
She always clawed at the soul of my heart

Yes, she proved to be unfaithful,
My life, she so shattered,
Didn't make any difference,
how hard I tried,
To her, it just never mattered

Yes, she was the woman of my dreams,
But sometimes, no matter how hard cares,
The woman of their dreams,...
Turns out those dreams....
turn out to be but nightmares
