Empty Dreams

still working on this









You built me into an angel...
You saw me flying  through life..
Joan Of Arc..
Saving lives..
You put this crown on my head..
that I did not want to wear..
You made me into someone ..
who was never there..
When reality took over your
disillusioned state of mind..
You realized..
these visions of me were merely dreams...
Now in anger you take your sword..
Cut off these wings..
The crown now cuts into my skin..
Suddenly I am free..
Nothing left..
Just years of empty dreams
Now I am
Free..
to be..
the no one I began..
Free to be..
Sculpted by anothers idle hand.
Not excepted as I am..
Not loved..
Not respected..
Now just shredded angel wings..
on dirty tear stained floors of dreams..
Wondering how I ever got here..
And what this life means..

nicely expressed Erica. Dreams do come out this way sometimes and some of them scare the h out of you. But it was only a dream, back to reality. hugs G

As empty as our dreams may seem to us, we can't allow ourselves to let go of them. When we do, it's all over. Great write Erica. Lisa

I could feel the depth of this one.
