A beautiful dream
today it shatters
fragments, splinters
of my existence sticking into you
a promise of hope,
guarantees of happiness
no longer are they near
just an empty shell
an anger swells inside
a dream can become you if you let it
but changing what is true
to conform to insecurity
definitely did, will destroy it
now what is there left
amidst the rubble
not even a foundation
just the sand it stood on
bitter tastes how it tastes
and sweet is not what it reminds of
nothing left now
memories fading
time to let go
but how to do that
my time is short I need my pieces back
though that dream is dead
I am not
patch me together
and onward I move
