Broken Dreams
Once upon a time
when you were my lover
we used to live in our world
of magical fantasy with
new experiences to discover
Fearless and free
We sailed the seven seas
Swimming in oceans
Enduring blizzards
And climbing trees
Our dreams were endless
and energy unbounded
A magical pair
Living in enchantment
Any negativity unfounded
Was it then prophetic
that you went away?
You became my former lover
Our lives modified
No longer here to stay
I fascinated you no longer
The spell was broken
In a New York minute
My hopes and wishes dashed
Another word never spoken

You are welcome dear. 😊💕
oh, how fast life changes
In a New York minute!
my heart cries and sings with this one!
Thank you for reading it Gina. That’s life sometimes, sadly 😢
it is Christine and we have to weather that storm, through words and healing poetry just like what you have created here so beautifully
Thank you Gina 💕
The wistfulness really comes through the lines. Well done.
Thank you! I really appreciate it 🙂
I absolutely love the phrase ‘In a New York minute’. So descriptive and so evocative!
Thank you! It just seemed more appropriate than “in a heartbeat” 🙂
