We wake from this dream <br />of liars eyes <br />so long faded <br />by a promised ideal, <br />only to discover <br />we were wrong once more. <br />I always imagined <br />you would search <br />forever for this love, <br />instead - you fade, <br />disintegrate in smoke. <br />Our flame died <br />in your sad eyes. <br />I watch you walk away, <br />tears drown tomorrow <br />while today slowly bleeds <br />with broken dreams. <br />Where does love go <br />when we tear it apart <br />like roses without thorns <br />which cannot cut, <br />cannot truely bleed- <br />just empty shells <br />of something <br />once beautiful. <br />We wake from this nightmare, <br />truth has encased us <br />within bitter shadows, <br />and all we know <br />is that this love <br />fooled us both. <br /> <br />1/4/08<br /><br />Viola Grey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wake-7/
