Broken Dreams

Living with a Hope of You

By Dana FlowersPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Standing in a river of my tears wondering how exactly I got here, I never seen it coming; we were fine just last year. When cotton floats in the wind and weeping willows start to cry. That's when I begin to lose my mind.

You were my heart, my life and my soul, now I can't stop this raging river from flowing since you left me behind. Incomplete and drowning in the sorrows and my fear. The fear you will never love me again.

I keep dreaming of the good life with you baby, praying there's still a maybe; The broken dreams of yesterday, wondering how I can save us baby. I can still see the look in your eyes right before everything began to die. How do you stop a hell fire from destroying what was ours. Don't you still want to save me.

I hear you call for me when I close my eyes, I know now what I have sacrificed. Everything good that was in my life; I still hear you singing me sweet lullabies. Wishing I was there by your side. How can this distant memory now be my life.

Winds of change offer a hope of redemption,

Two hopeless souls swimming,

Praying for ascension into paradise.

Pleading for you to hold me is tempting.

The world around me is receding,

Living without you is depleting

Your love is my salvation.

Without you I just might have died inside.

Now you know me darling

No imperfection Goes uncritisized.

I don't mean to be so crazy.

But I've only wanted to be your baby.

Now I see everything and cry.

I've been broken, never seen the brighter side.

Until I saw you cry and heard my name.

That's when you became my everything.
