Broken Dreams [October 12, 2016]A Poem by Dillan CourtrightStanding a blank slate before you, an infinite wait This sorrow deepens within me, here I forever stay Streaming down my broken face, tears fill my eyes Rendered in two, my heart still follows your lies Forgetting who I am, I continue to chase after you I ignore my dreams, I will die a forgotten fool My past haunts behind me, reminding me of my place But still I press forward, I've forgotten my fate The years pass by, you disappear from my life I watched you fade away, as hollow as the night Depressing thoughts, echo through my entire being I try to move on, but I still chase an empty dream I've reached my goals, but I failed my happiness I chose my life over yours, ending in loneliness And in my sleep I continue to endlessly weep As I continue chasing you, inside my broken dreams
