In My Jar Of Broken Dreams

Folder: 
August 2003 Poetry

In all my life I never thought,

that I’d meet someone like you.

You were all I ever dreamed of,

and much, much more.

There were things about you I loved,

that I never thought I’d ever love.

You taught me so much,

and made me feel what I thought was love.

I was in a dreamland,

but I was forced to wake up,

and felt my heart break.

It was all a lie.

My heart shattered into a million pieces,

and when I found the strength,

I picked it all up,

and put it, along with your memory,

in my jar of broken dreams.

Your poem really spoke to me. I know exactly what it is like to build this glorious dream only to have it timelessly shattered..it hurts like crazy. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. You have great strength writing about it...so great poem. I enjoyed it.
