Of lies and broken promises
A weakened state of mind
The pieces of my tortured heart
Are scattered and all a mess.

Sullen, head down, dragging
Taking each step cautiously towards the door
Waiting until the ground opens up
And swallows me whole.

Some familiar voice calls my name
And I glance up
Magically like an act of God
The crowded room is now emptied
And there you are, reaching for my hand-
Like you were sent from Heaven
To lift my spirits and mend my heart
And then you disappear.

For that moment I knew what happiness was
A tainted image all scorched on my brain
Of the one I had for a few seconds
The one I let get away.

Dead Dream

Falling into an abyss
Of lies and broken promises
A weakened state of mind
The pieces of my tortured heart
Are scattered and all a mess.

Sullen, head down, dragging
Taking each step cautiously towards the door
Waiting until the ground opens up
And swallows me whole.

Some familiar voice calls my name
And I glance up
Magically like an act of God
The crowded room is now emptied
And there you are, reaching for my hand-
Like you were sent from Heaven
To lift my spirits and mend my heart
And then you disappear.

For that moment I knew what happiness was
A tainted image all scorched on my brain
Of the one I had for a few seconds
The one I let get away.

How about when you do everything in your power to keep the one you love, only to have them go away.......

This is more than just a poem; it is embodied emotion, sincere feelings. I share these same feelings, the ones of regret, the pain that one cannot allay.

This is a gem...a diamond amongst coal.

Truly,
-Dan

Such a wistfulness and longing... very well-done. I know it completely.
Blessings.

To read the words is to cry the agony, lost and alone, the silence of a phone. Mind in a dream, head in a spin. Yet not alone, with those words and feelings.

Beautiful, Thank you.
