Forever our tender hearts passion dare <br />A cross to attest to our sacrifice <br />I had a dream and woke to a nightmare <br /> <br />Betrayed by trusted confidant - thrice <br />Friends' cold shoulders like a thorny barb <br />A cross to attest to our sacrifice <br /> <br />Sackcloth and ashes, our suitable garb <br />Too proud to explain the situation <br />Friends' cold shoulders like a thorny barb <br /> <br />To Bacchus the symbolic libation <br />Drowning out perceived reality <br />Too proud to explain the situation <br /> <br />Awakening latent creativity <br />Like doves circling in a darkening sky <br />Drowning out perceived reality <br /> <br />Many bloodless wounds our souls decry <br />Forever our tender hearts passion dare <br />Like doves circling in a darkening sky <br />I had a dream and woke to a nightmare<br /><br />Suzette Richards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-had-a-dream-32/
