Shattered

those who have walked the path filled with broken promises and shattered dreams are the ones who arise with the strongest wings
                                                                 - Dane Thomas 
                                

From soaring dreams to fading hopes, he gave them all
Now all that is left are shattered fragments
                          Fragility
                            revisited

Punctuated with punctured hopes and dead desires
I tread this path alone, no love for me,
at least not yet, not when I'm down and out
not when my fractured feelings are flustered and frayed

        What would I not give to relive
        that heady feeling once again?

                          Dreams fade and die
                            He killed them all
