Love Poem: Broken Dreams

Broken Dreams

A dream of hidden death, 
 squeezing out the ember years. 
 Embedded in her flowers
 dripping, drenched in nectar tears. 

 And now, the dream of a dying soul; 
 Confined. A trembling heart of tears. 
 Working hard, so very hard 
 for only a memory of wasted years? 

 Erotic debt and a laughing lie 
 and in the dreams of yesteryear. 
 visions of happiness and wonderment, 
 reality whispers, "Did anyone care?" 

 Blacker days emerge and draining worth. 
 Painful living calls to die. 
 A pathetic soul dared to dream. 
 Forever in the dream I cry.
