Another Shattered Dream

~ aheadfulofwords ~ Leave a comment

Once again my torch goes out. Another star fades away.
Another knife is twisted. My heart feels familiar pain.
The spring in my step is lost. The sparkle in my eye has gone.
Another weight drags me down. Yet again it’s time to mourn.
To mourn a love that never was, just another might have been.
Another fantasy in my head. Another pathetic dream.
A dream that was so out of reach. One that could never have come true.
For I am just little me, too lowly for the likes of you.
Yet still this didn’t stop me from hoping that we could be.
That we could make a life together; one that was happy and care-free.
But all too soon it disappeared. My dream got ripped in two.
For when I looked at you today, the truth it just shone through.
The battle scar upon your neck that was apparently made in love.
The uninterested look I got that said I wasn’t enough.
The change in your demeanour; the blankness of your stare.
It was all enough to tell me that you just didn’t care.
And that was when I felt the pain; the blow to my head and heart.
And I realised I was dreaming a dream of a love that will never start.
And I saw that I was once again wasting my precious time,
By investing my life in someone who wasn’t willing to invest in mine.

How is it fair?

I want to know how this is fair
That you appear to be everywhere
In my mind; every place I go
In my heart and every song I know
How do you make me feel so weak?
Why have I become so meek?
What have I done to get like this?
To fall into such a huge abyss
The worst thing is I barely know you
I don’t know how you do what you do
Or how it is you’ve gained this power
To control my mind every waking hour
To haunt me even when I sleep
To be the reason that I weep
Somehow you’ve become my only dream
But you’re an obsession; a might have been
Because I know we’ll never be
Never together, never happy
Never a couple, never a pair
You’re not someone with whom I’ll share
All my secrets and inner thoughts
All I’ve learnt and all I’ve taught
All my loves and all my fears
All the things that cause my tears
Because you’re just another guy
Who made me feel a little high
By giving me what I craved
A smile, a kiss, some chat, a wave
And then you walked out of my life
Knowing what you’d left behind
And it seems that you don’t care
Please tell me how this is fair.

Bad and Unrequited

Why is it that we fall in love with people that are so wrong?
So wrong for us and for our life, why are we so drawn?
Drawn to those we know are bad, yet ones we can’t be without.
They’re always the ones that leave us hurt. Usually the ones who are cowards.

They take what they can and leave the rest, knowing that they’ve won.
Won a place in our hearts, knowing they can’t do wrong.
They’re always there when they need us but never the other way round.
They know they’re welcome any time but will disappear without a sound.

Yet still we hold them in high regard. They’re the only star in our sky.
Up there shining really bright; a symbol of love that’ll never die.
And so it goes on this torturous ride, waiting for love to be returned.
But we know that day’ll never come. This fire will forever burn.

And although we’ll always provide the wood, and the heat will forever rise.
The only warmth and light we’ll see are the flames dancing in our eyes.
And even when the wind picks up and blows the smoke off course,
You know the love will still burn strong, for the smoke just blinds us more.
