Tarnished Memories and Broken Hearts
Are overshadowed by broken glass and
Shards of pain
Joyous moments clouded by ugly recriminations
Happy reflections sadden by disdain
Laughter caught in the throat
Does not bubble forth as carbonated water
Tarnished remembrances chastise recollections
Ruined heart and soul excuses relayed half ass
Dynamite explodes revealing true intentions
Cannot hide underneath lies
Feelings vulnerable weaken vessel of self
Shattered heart and corroded memories
Goodnight Sweet Dreams
Holding on to impossibilities
Chasing dreams always within
Reach yet not close enough
To grasp in palm of your hand
Standing on the other side
Of time making wishes
Futile when they fail
To materialize
You place a soft kiss on your dreams
In the dark you whisper
To all your imaginings and desire
Good night sweet dreams…
