Broken Dream

by Dee   Jun 18, 2006


Thinking about the future
While reminiscing about the past
Confuses my emotions
About finding love that lasts

I walked away from many relationships
Without a blink of my eye
Never feeling any regrets
Of the love that kept on passing by

Knowing I would find another
To fill the vacant part
Never thinking for a minute
That you were the beating of my heart

I bragged about the fact
That I had never cried
I was once cold hearted
With no regrets of past goodbyes

I could walk away from you
Absent of the emotion
I was numb from the consequence
Reckless of my devotion

I got in my uhaul truck
And smiled as I drove away
Proud of my new found freedom
And the accomplishments I felt today

Little did I realize
That I had pushed away true love
And opened the door of loneliness
As I searched for a better fitting glove

I walked away from you so abruptly
I made you feel defeated
I know I hurt you badly
But please know I never cheated

I promised you another chance
As I played you for a fool
I disregarded being a good sport
As I was breaking all the rules

But it was once all about me
And you were just my pawn
I was happy with you loving me
As I was stringing you along

I battered and I bruised your heart
And you kept coming back for more
I never really missed you
Until you walked out of the door

You were always there for me
Morning, noon and night
You never made me accept
Being wrong or being right

Years later I still had you
You raised my confidence
You invited me to your house
Regardless of the consequence

You forgot to mention
The Little girl next door
Was you future wife
And she had children you adored

You got "caught up in the moment"
That was exactly what you said to me
You were thinking about the past
Still longing for my memory

How could you still be there
After I caused you so much pain
I put our love in jeopardy
As I played all of my games

Even once you found another
You were willing to sacrifice
Taking a risky chance with me
By sacrificing your new life

I was ready to run to you
And reunite the flame
I put the wheels in motion
I was prepared to end my shame

I was going to see you again
And pour out my heart to you
I was ready for forever
Willing to do whatever you wanted me to

Suddenly I was love struck
I finally found the one
You were right before my eyes long ago
You were my rising and setting sun

I followed your direction
I dreamed of our first forever kiss
Memories reminded me of all the things I missed

Phone call after phone call
And emails that went unanswered
Began making me wonder
If I had used up all my chances

Yesterday you loved me and you said I was the one
We had a meeting of the hearts
But then you began to run

Nowhere could I find you
I was no longer a priority
My calls went to voice mail
And the emails went to junk mail received

Suddenly you moved on
I guess you got revenge
But I found true love
And my heart will never mend

They say you never miss the water
Until the well runs dry
I was ready to say hello again
but you suddenly said goodbye

I guess its really over
But I will not forget
I now know you were the one for me
My true love I won't forget

But once upon a time
I pulled on your heart strings
Even though you mean the world to me
I accept that it was just a broken dream...........................
