Treading my pride

* Treading My Pride.

The heart of a dreamer beats out of time
lives in a world of magical rhyme.
Open to hurt, confusion and pain
Yet moves forward with out restraint

Soaring with angels light as the air
moonbeams dance all around my hair.
His love is perfect or so I thought
all of the stories were actually bought.

Broken and shattered , played like a game
for the moment all men are the same.
Try as you may you can't get me back
truth is something you seriously lack.

Treading my pride I don't allow
relationship lost, I now disavow.
Brush off the shoulders, standing up tall
wipe the tears forgetting it all..

    Connie: A sad story penned with lessons ..... very nice flow, choice of words and near perfect rhyming. I am certainly impressed.

    I wonder if you rearrange the first 2 stanza's to match the thoughts in each, so they convey the same emotion, would it change the story in it?
    So here is a slight re-arrangement of your words...tell me what you think:

    Soaring with angels light as the air
    moonbeams dance all around my hair.
    The heart of a dreamer beats out time
    lives in( ?within) a world of magical rhyme.

    His love is (? was) perfect or so I thought
    (but) all of (?his) stories were actually bought.
    Open to hurt, confusion and pain
    Yet moves forward with out restraint (?refrain - rhymes better with pain)

    (I am not sure if it is the same thoughts being conveyed here ...so my apologies for interjecting my thoughts in your poem.
    As always, love your work. 5/5

    I love this part! Perfectly written and makes the reading really feel what you are trying to say here!

    Wow, again, nice work! :) I loved it!

    The first thing that strike me was the flow. It's smooth and rhymes unforced.
