Uprooting Dreams

Abandoning yesterday, Time morphs into tomorrow. While uprooting dying dreams, watered with tears of sorrow. Love's no longer on the scene; turning my dreams into dust. And though tethered to my heart, trust has eroded to rust. Paradise is a desert when the wind whispers your name. For it reminds me you left, and now nothing feels the same. Tattered, dried-out memories tend to crumple at my touch. And blow away with the wind, not counting for very much. The sun continues to shine, and the sky is just as blue. But my reason for living disappeared, along with you.
