The Road She Takes (Poetry)

Road of Broken Dreams

Down the road of broken dreams,

All I hear are endless screams,

Staring into empty eyes,

All I see are bitter lies

On the road of past mistakes,

Choking back shards of loneliness

Heading towards my demise

Hand in hand with misery

Humiliation colored my cheeks,

Pride fell away from me like clothes,

Stripped of all self-esteem

Left to find my way back home

I keep the music playing,

Need the dance to keep on going

Pretend nothing has happened,

but all their facades fall

I'm falling into the abyss of madness,

I'm beginning my descent into hopelessness

Losing my faith in this damn world

giving myself away to haunting lullabies

Down the road of endless dreams

All I see are hopes so false

Staring into a world unknown

All I hear are cries of sorrow
