Halcyon

Glassed Dreams

Silent stares of an unprejudiced wall,
Closing in with an unforeseen call.
The illusion cracks, faith once pristine,
Now, all that remains is a wraith, unseen.

A nebulous ache begins to encroach in,
A cacophonic silence freezes within.
Vacant eyes and broken gaze,
Unwilling to grace, unwilling to haze.

My dream shattered like fragile glass,
Each splinter a remembrance, unwilling to pass,
In a kaleidoscope of fractured hopes,
Pain echoes, binding tightly like ropes.

My once bright days now fade to insomniac nights,
And all that remains of me are silent cries.
Crying for a dream that was once so fine,
Crying for a dream that was beautifully mine.

In the shadowed aisles of regret, I fade,
Tears and anguish elegantly cascade.
I can no longer dream; deplorable echoes persist,
In a destroyed daze, I sit, stare and exist.
