Waiting In Dreams

Deep scars and dark bruises concealed by shadowed veils

Underneath smothered secrets hinder battered details

The delusion of an eminent paragon must be endured

To obtain a decadent love that was once so innocent and pure

Searching for a sign of light in this infinitely dismal tunnel

Struggling intently to solve this intricate puzzle

Desperate to connect and be one pristine whole again

Hopelessly drained, delicate from obligations to pretend

Fate says I’m destined to be alone

Jaded and taken for granted

Your cold, apathetic tone

Has left me desolate and stranded

I long to be in love with you by some inevitable force

I plead and implore for the sublimity that dwelled once before

Hoping passion will be restored,

Gazing into each other’s eyes, feeling cherished and adored

But Mother Nature ignores my prayers and runs her own course

And as I realize I’m living a beautifully delusional dream, I will plead no more....
