Dream's End

The dream is gone
Was it really so wrong?
The fantasy fades
The darkness has stayed
Was any of it real?
Or just how I feel?
Could it have always just been a fantasy?
A beautifully woven tapestry
Who pulled that crucial thread?
Who added the nightmarish dread?
When did the morning arrive?
When did the reality come alive?
The sparkle is gone
The dream didn't last very long
It is the end of Summer
Now comes the cold of Winter
Time to just walk away
Nothing left anyway
Wanting to remain a friend
But will we only be bitter enemies in the end?
Now is the time to just let go of what we had
It all only makes me sad
Nothing left to save
It is all as cold as a grave
It is the death of a dream
Up and away like steam
Enemy or friend
It is dream's end



Something I wrote years and years ago...The ambiguous feelings we go through when a relationship ends. Ultimately, we became friends.
