Broken Dreams Poem by lil island Gal

Broken Dreams

Rating: 4.9


Oh, if I had a star to shine
For every broken dream of mine
The whole night sky would turn to day
And all my troubles melt away....



************************

I love you more than life itself
But Im afraid to love.
My heart is like the fragile wings
Of a tiny little dove.

I'm scared to get too close.
I feel that I can't win.
You'll love me for a little while
Then you'll set me free again.

I've lived so long on hopes and dreams
I don't know what to do.
I don't think I can trust my heart,
For it belongs to you.

I know you'll only hurt me
Yet, I still keep running back.
Between the paths of our hearts
There's a worn and beaten track.

You've got my heart held on a string.
Its breaking right in two.
Enough belongs to me -to hurt-
The rest belongs to you.

I know that somewhere in your heart
There is a place for me.
I just don't know how to find it
And there's no way to make you see.

I can only hope that someday
You'll wake up and you'll find,
That while my heart belongs to yours,
Yours, too, belongs to mine.

(inspiration: sadiqullah khan: : : : after reading his poem promises)
what about all those promises, commitments...he did? ? ? ? ? ?


P.S: i wish he could be there with me right now...... but he is NO MORE....

A poem with focussed mind :) A sweet first stanza........ dreamy atmosphere of sadness. 'You'll love me for a little while Then you'll set me free again' it seems you believed in the opinion that in love... no freedom! and again there is a heart felt piece.... 'You've got my heart held on a string. Its breaking right in two. Enough belongs to me -to hurt- The rest belongs to you' ..... and its end is also very nice, though it is a poem of sorrow but i feel it something very sweet! just TOUCHY! !

This is a very well written poem, lil Gal, and I liked how consistent your rhyming in it was. You certainly have a talent for poetic expression and displayed it quite well in this charming poem. Carl.
