Road of Broken Dreams

I walk on the road of broken dreams
Where wishes and hope dies
Paths wrongly taken, full of turns of fate
So, in the shadows of the night I contemplate


My mind is a maze of screams and sorrow
Yet I try, I will smile
But the tears on my pillow are silent streams
As my nights are full of haunting dreams


The night stars are cold and unforgiving
They just shine with false promises
As loneliness wraps me in its dark shroud
In a world that’s busy, angry and loud


Yet I find, I gather, inner strength
To face the day, the world, my pain
And though my dreams lie broken by the way
I force myself to smile, to say hello to each day


And in the darkest hours of the night
Even in my silent tears, I try and find strength
I want, I need, I must see where happiness gleams
As I walk on the road of broken dreams.
