Dreams, they shatter
As daylight breaks.
Sleepless dreaming
Defy nocturnal blessing.
Where are the promises we made
When we stared into the mirror.
Promises for a better tomorrow
A life of exhaustive meaning.
A happier point of view
Strewn about the earth with smiles.
Swearing to a gifted future
And a world better with us in it.
Surround ourselves with those who care
And make those who don't our allies.
But sacrifice was imminent
And we gave up what we felt.
First a little here, then a little there
Then no more grins or laughter.
No more friends who want our blessing
Others openly wishing ill.
And where went you, dear friend?
As I ventured forth and fought for this.
You stayed behind
Fed me to the wolves.
And all the while always there
To see me when I fell.
Waiting to gaze upon me
When we had our talks of change.
Daylight breaks and dreams will shatter
And a cracked mirror offers no support.
