Shattered Dreams
Heart aches and chest burns
Head throbs and eyes burst
With tears of unfounded hope
Wasted on a dream long dead
Silence reigns as tongue twists
Into inaudible protest of denial
Unwilling to accept defeat
Yet words form no defense
It's the end, the finale
An unrealistic dream fueled by hope
Shouldered by love
Destroyed by indecision
Lest hope be restored
Lest dream be renewed
A feeble attempt to sustain
A broken heart, its shattered dream.
Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
