Broken Dreams
When the moon doesn’t sleep
Only the dreams can haunt and creep
His eyes burn like flames
He is the only one to blame
A fit of anger built up higher than the eye can see
With dreams of doubt and failure
Broken images for the night’s natural treasure
A timeless world with no name or pleasure
A place far from the ones you love
Far apart from the dead for years
In a world that won’t share your tears
Only in memories do the dead reappear
A jail with no walls, expands when you overstep its boundaries
Its comfort zone grows in small or large quantities
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Saddest of sounds, a heart that doesn't want to beat anymore
But one knows somewhere its heart is adored
The moon is tired of the repeating nights
With no time to lash out or energy to fight
Awake with the moon, he can’t sleep
A strong reality whose truth is deep
His mind will dance in the moonlight
As he thinks of all the times he’s wronged, not right
They all know who I am,
A kid that struggles with being a man
