Fragile dream

by Mona   Nov 9, 2005


In my hands I'm holding a fragile dream,
I hold it tight for I'm going downstream.
In my chest I'm holding a bleeding heart,
It fell apart even before the fresh new start.

Don't touch me because I might fall apart,
Sorry but I am no longer your sweetheart,
Please, close the door and leave me alone,
I'm sorry; the girl you once knew is gone.

Call me whatever you want I don't care,
I have a lot on my shoulders I have bare.
And if you don't have the strength to lift it,
Then don't stay or else your throat I'll slit.

But you shake your head and refuse to go,
You say: "there's something you need to know"
You gently take the dream out of my hand,
"there is something you need to understand"?

You drop my dream and pieces shatter,
I fall down but you say it doesn't matter,
You ask; "what do we know about dreams"?
"Its not real and nothing is what it seems"

This is what my friend wanted to tell me:

If you had to chose between a black or white door.
The white door leads to a beautiful shore.
Would you spend your whole life in that dream?
Not knowing what is behind that other door?

Or would you take a risk and pick the black door.
If it turns out to be bad, At least you know what you are missing.

"at least you know what you are missing, kept echoing in my mind"

    Very interesting... Your writings are very intricate, although I myself don't get lost in them they stir emotions that reflect how painful my life is at the moment... Your poetry gives me inspiration to write my own pieces at times... Very well written, continue to impress me and I'll impress you with some of my latest works...
