Uprooting Dreams
Uprooting yesterday's dreams;
time sows seeds of tomorrow.
And cultivates misery,
watered with tears of sorrow.
Love's no longer on the scene,
trust has eroded to rust.
And stored somewhere in my heart;
Hope's slowly collecting dust.
Paradise turns to desert
when the wind whispers your name.
And ever since you left me,
my life's never been the same.
Tattered, dried-out memories
quickly crumple at my touch.
And blow away with the wind,
not counting for very much.
The sun continues to shine,
and the sky is just as blue.
But my reason for living
disappeared, along with you.
