Shattered


All my life I dreamed
Flowers, a veil and gown
Practiced walking down the aisle
And everyone standing round .

I grew and kept my hope
I waited for your name to hear
The bells :they sounded strong
I knew you were very near .

The dream played out its song
Placed on my finger a ring
A honeymoon filled delight
Causing both our souls to sing.

I saw you look her way
I recognized desire in you
I captured her hand in yours
My heart sank and broke in two.

The dream;it all but shattered
My hopes were sprinkled in dust
All because your eyes did stray
From your weakness and your lust.l
