Author: Of Crimson Moonlight
Author's Note: This poem is for anyone who was told that their dreams would be failures from someone who should have been there for them. You trust someone, and they hurt you badly. To anyone with hopes and dreams, keep fighting for them.
The Shattered Bottle and a Single Word
The shattered bottle and a single word
Thought the glass was stronger
The dream is damaged
From your spoken remark called failure
You were followed all these years
All the choices made were yours
Without question they were followed
Silently didn't you know how they were abhorred?
As punishment for harmless attractions,
A stain on their name to God
The crime?
Not loving your choice for a future
In confidence I told you of my first love
From seemingly impossible dreams they stemmed
Secret hopes and unspoken adventures
You didn't laugh at them
God forgive this if it is sin.
Your preferred future is unbearable
Though good intentions were derived from within
The victim's result is pained and miserable
Opinions fall on the voluntary deaf
Pleas and pain died before they reached their goal
Trying to move your mind is like moving a mountain
It's shattering the heart of this tortured soul
You were supposed to stand by me
Why aren't you?
Through years and sands of time
I cared for your dreams,
But you feigned love for mine.
