That Dream is Shattered

Date: 30.03.2007
Time: 9:25 p.m.

That dream is shattered
Where will you go now?
Where do those winding paths lead?
Traversing the vast and endless expanse
Of nothingness and despair
Only the bitterness of the truth awaits.

That dream is shattered
How will you find yourself again?
How does life fall in place?
All those thoughts and fancies harboured
Remain as dreams alone
They are not translated into reality.

That dream is shattered
Who will you go to now?
Who will reach out ― pull you out of these depths?
There is no one to turn to
In misery, you are alone
And loneliness will firmly grasp the living soul.

That dream is shattered
The broken fragments lost to the inexperienced eye
Not a chance of recovery
Not a whisper of new hope
The conflict between expectations and aspirations
Makes you plummet further ― you bleed to drown it all.


End: 9:37 p.m.

Another complete metaphorical poem. And I think I can somehow understand it.
I really like your style of writing... hmm.
