Shards of Reality

Hiding inside these blissful fairy tales
Where my oblivious heart rests
Reality is a most unwelcome visitor
Idealistic dreams adorn the walls

In this land where my heart resides
Love is the one thing that matters
But through it all something remains
A feeling…that this cannot last

A darkness looms at the borders
This vile cold waiting silently
For that perfect chance to strike
To tear apart what has been created

The door is shattered, splinters fly
My heart lies exposed and helpless
All that was fought for so hard
Goes fleeing out the gaping hole

Reality forces its way through
Nightmares take the place of dreams
Pessimism replacing the idealism
Depression takes control


Shattered dreams litter the cold earth
Their remnants mocking my very soul
Stabbing at my heart with all that's been lost
Cold and alone, my heart dies
