Broken Heart, Shattered Dream

by Timothy Bledsoe   Dec 11, 2005


We used to sit and talk
About this, that, the other
We used to joke and laugh
Enjoying each other's company

We used to hold hands
Content with the touch
We used to lay in bed
Listening to our hearts

We used to go out
Sit and watch children in the park
We used to think about our future
Our house, the name of our kids

We had full hearts
We had bright dreams

Now you don't talk to me
Not even when I beg
We don't laugh together
Or tell silly jokes

Now you brush my hand away
You don't want my touch
We don't lay together
You don't want my warmth

Now you'd rather stay in
Than walk around with me
We don't talk about the future
There is none for us now

You left me with a broken heart
And a shattered dream
