Unfulfilled Dreams

Loneliness is like a graveyard haunted by ghosts,
empty memories, and unfulfilled dreams:
                         where hearts endure
                          an endless pain.

My tomorrows are fewer than my yesterdays;
it's like I'm fated to spend life alone.
In my youth, I pretended I was loved;
and can't convey how it felt to be unwanted.

        I want to love and to be loved,
        is that not everybody's dream?

                         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 :-)
