SHATTERED DREAMS

Ruined, torn to shreds
All the plans we had
Whispered vows of love
Shattered like fine glass
And thrown to the winds
The confetti of my belief

Colour has gone, drained
Dissolved in dark puddles
My world is full of shadows
Of misunderstanding and disbelief
My idol had feet of clay
Whoever would have thought?
My conviction SO strong!

Robbers have plundered
My 'End of the Rainbow'
While I was busy daydreaming
Of little houses and cosy fires
My future was captured
And sacrificed to a doubt!

Oh, yea of little faith!
With plastic swords and rusty armour
Empty promises and shallow love
Mount your lame donkey
And ride to your chosen sunset.
