Love Poem: Shattered Dreams

Shattered Dreams

It's a touchy subject
Kicked around like a ball
As we begin to take into consideration 
The meaning of "true love"
We also begin to realize its not a word,
But a feeling.
Just when you think the love of your life 
has been captured 
By the depth of your heart
They break it. 
With what feels like a knife
The same knife 
That took your father's life. 
Marked on the side
With the name of Jesus Christ.
"I love you"
"Do you love me too?"
Wasting what you think is a good idea
Turns out to be your biggest fear
You'll never want to love again
When that special boy
Shatters all your hopes and dreams
Of ever finding someone who cares 
As much as they ever did
Then again, did he ever really care?
Confusion runs through your mind 
When you think about all the moments
That you wanted to last a lifetime 
With that not-so-special boy
Who broke your heart.
