Dreams

I've never been much of a dreamer
Or allowed myself much hope
For every time I open my heart
The dreams crumble, leaving me to cope

No matter how hard I tried to prove my love
No matter how many times it made me feel so hurt
No matter how many times I have been left all alone
It's my soul that has been torn and thrown in the dirt

Happily ever after, only happens in fairy tales
And for everyone else in the world, but me
My dreams and hopes for my future, just a drop remains
Until the creator calms my troubled soul and sets me free
