Broken Dreams Upon The Floor

I sit across the room from you,
but you're not really there.
We lost each other long ago...
but you're still in the chair.

The trust and the compassion,
the love that we once shared.
The dreams we built together...
because we once both cared.

You gave me hope and happiness
that I had never seen
You took me to a place in time...
that I had never been.

Perhaps, it's something from our pasts,
or fear of what's beyond.
But, somethings come between us...
and now all this is gone.

Tattered shreds of happiness,
broken dreams upon the floor.
Silence fills each passing day...
and we've both closed the door.

I sit across the room from you,
but you're not really there.
We lost each other long ago...
but you're still in the chair.

Yesterday

Another cup of coffee...
another cigarette.
Another night without you...
another empty bed.

I used to think about you...
and worry all night long.
I used to wonder, what I'd done...
and where had I gone wrong?

But, I've long since stopped to figure,
why you drifted from our home.
I no longer wait for you to come...
or wait for you to phone.

The kids now fill my everyday,
bring sunlight to my life.
I signed the papers yesterday...
to no longer be your wife.

The Castles in Our Dreams

I put away the photographs,
your shaving brush and cream.
The memories of our yesterdays,
the castles in our dreams.

The chair you used to sit in,
as you held my hand at night.
I moved it to the garage lat week,
I couldn't bare the sight.

Your favorite pair of slippers,
and dog eared magazines.
The memories of our yesterdays,
the castles in our dreams.

I put them all away, you see,
it's time to move along.
Stop living in the past with you,
and wondering what went wrong.

A Whisper of Wind...
A Gentle Breeze.
Soaring Over the Mountains...
Sailing Over the Seas.
Carries My Love to You!

I Never Loved...I Never Cared.

I Never Wanted...I Never Needed.
I Never Yearned...I Never Pleaded...
Till You!

Last Night...

Last night as you lay in bed, beside me.
You held me, gently in your warm embrace.
I felt your tenderness and loving,
As you wiped the tears and hurting from my face.

Last night you said that you would never leave me...
You said the love we knew would always be.
You said that we would share a million memories...
You said that you would always be with me.

I woke to find the pillow bare beside me...
The hurt and lonliness filled every part.
For you were never really there beside me...
You were only there...inside my heart.
