Dragonfly dreams
Whisper and waver
On the wings
Of hope and harmony
An oddity of optimism
And adventurism
Reminding her
When everything
That matters is shattered
Tattered and torn
Broken and burned
She’ll rise from the ashes
Of her despair and destruction
He rode in on his high horse
Full of ideals and false hopes
He promised everything but delivered nothing
Offered salvation, provided poison
He left under the blood moon, taking faith with him
He smiled, thinking he’d hit payday
It wasn’t until years later he realized nothing came cheap
The contours of her chaos cost him too much
And his windfall spiraled into a deficit he wasn’t willing to pay
The chase is over
The thrill is gone
The heat is extinguished
A pressure is building
A chill is forming
Over my heart
Over my laughter
As I yearn for the past
I cry for the future
You are the reason I ache
It is for your touch, your words
I want to forget
But need brings me to my knees
Reaching, grabbing for your ghost
A phantom, long gone
The only thing real is my regret
The smoke screen vanished
His deceptions were revealed
The scarlet of his lies
Are reflected in her eyes
The web of his deceits
Turns into bars of regret
Leaving him in solitary confinement
Alone and broken
Her roses are red
But she’s torn and bruised
The dark side of her heart
Has her coming apart
Raveling at the seams
Lost in her screams
And gray, dead dreams
I had an epiphany of the worst kind
To my light and love, you’re blind
All you see is the dark side of my heart
The razor’s kiss, the cuts, they tear us apart
I bleed despair and surrender to the sorrow
To the coldness of no tomorrow
I am awake
But dreaming of you
As I walk amid the ruins
Of our love
The death of our promises
Are buried in sweet sorrow
And what once was
Is scattered in the winds
Of our past
She falters at the threshold
Of her desires
Shaking with passion
And new fears
For all the secrets she holds dear
Will she let them into the light
Or die and decay with her fright?
