Unfulfilled Dreams

Loneliness is a graveyard haunted by old ghosts, empty memories, and unfulfilled dreams: where hearts endure a constant pain. My tomorrows are fewer than my yesterdays, it seems I'm fated to spend life alone. In my youth, I fantasized about love, and can't convey how it felt to feel unwanted. I want to love and to be loved, isn't that what life's all about? Paper-thin smiles, shadow sad tears.

I can easily relate to this one, Emile, except I am not sad about it anymore, because if it's not real, then I don't really want it anyway. Wishing you love. Hugs, Catie :-)
