Love Poem: Dreams

Dreams

Why do I even bother to dream
Just so I can have my heart torn apart
At the seems
It’s not hard for anyone to see at all
I dream and then I fall
Laying on the floor
Don’t help when you are trying to stand tall
Close the door to it don’t walk back down that hall
Dreams are to God we pray, everyday
It’s to Him we ask that He show us the way
Stay positive, focused they say
But I’ve seen it happen so many times before
Love’s such a hard game to play
And it’s me left here to keep score
Dreams can sometimes drive you out of your mind
Leave you helpless and blind
It’s your heart that gets left behind
Sit there begging for any kind of sign
But like can be hard, cruel, and very unkind
Dreams has been a song
About love and how it’s gone wrong
And how we still try to hold on
Perhaps we were meant to move on
Dreams are what so much of me have been taken
Leaving me here broken and forsaken
With my heart aching
My body breaking
Why do I let them keep taking
I know damn it I need waking
Dreams are the reasons I now pretend
When I really need just to mend
And to al of you who keep pulling me through
My love I will always send to you
Dreams have taken so much form me
Yet have given back so little and for me they rarely bend
Dreams are the means to my end
