Its over, the dream for us
and now reality
takes me away from you
Your dreams come true
but I am not with you
I quietly step aside
you offered me the sun,
the moon, and your arms
but I let it slip away
and I find myself standing alone
in the rain
of the thrashing storms
that rises within
trying to gaze
through heavy tears
that dims more of what is left
of our dying dream
but now its all washed away
and uncovers reality
a new landscape
a new blue sky
a new love
Birds will twitter
over the once empty
bird bath that I wanted
that you had placed
to bring life to our empty hearts
it never had gotten filled
The empty spaces
in our hearts now
echoing footsteps of hurt
It is an unfinished dream
that contains
echoes of memories
of laughter and smiles
rustle of sheets
sweet soft music
love in candlelight
And now it falls
tear after tear
it rains upon my soul
I close my eyes
for I would still want to
remember in my heart
and eyes
the memories of us
the home that could not be
was a beautiful haven
dreamt by you and me
