Fallen Dreams

Your castle walls where built upon

A dream of gold and wondrous things

But dreams will die when trust has gone

And hope will fade when truths are seen

The friends that come will offer words

But words are all they have to say

As ego’s fight for all their worth

Whilst those that gave are left betrayed

Outside your dream the world still moved

And spun as one with life’s new threads

That passed you by whilst others fought

To live a life with hope bereft

When pinched to stir and waken thee

You rubbed the sleep from out your eyes

But all had gone with walls decayed

And all had seen through all your lies

A walk was sought through moonlit streets

That felt the cold of winters chill

Alone you paced the cobbled paths

And touched the pain that keeps you still

As fire fades within your soul

And dreams no longer rule your home

The castle walls will tumble down

And in the ruins …..you sit alone

I have been in a reflective, melancholy mood and, although this is not one of my best, this was what flowed from my pen…..
