shattered dreams
Jaqueline Ballard
Life is full of disappointments
Sadly you were one of mine
We thought we’d last for all times

You pumped me up with your visions of the future
Told me to always keep my head up
Told me to never let them see me cry
But now you look at me, eyes cold and mouth dry
Telling me you can no longer deny the fact that you love me
Tears trickle from your eyes and I can’t help but to despise you

You then ask me to do the one thing I can’t
Return the love that you just sent
Told you from the beginning I wasn’t capable of love
You just laughed it off saying that everyone was
Tried to let you know I was different from the rest
Now you sit here in distress due to my long-lasting silence

That was the day our plans for the future dissolved
I’ll never forget the way you looked at me and walked off.

I feel endless remorse for the way that I hurt you
But you knew from the beginning that I wasn’t capable of loving you.
