A MAKE-BELIEF DREAM
A MAKE-BELIEF DREAM
I feel empty, hallow and ragged inside
And while reaching to grab the unraveling thread presented in front of me
I realize that my whole life has been a make-belief dream
It has been a seemingly, exciting yet an unfulfilling roller-coaster ride
So much deceit and dishonesty
Lies of the truth and taking advantage of me
A cover up of what I see
I realize that my whole life has been a make-belief dream.
So many coming in and out
Over and over I was filled with much doubt
Then came along a man
Of whom I felt at ease, taking his hand
Who knew that with him I would relive this make- belief dream
That so many times before, had me inside ready to scream.
With lies and deception covering every word
He took my heart and destroyed it with a jagged sword.
To my face, so endearing he looked
Spit words of supposed love and got my heart hooked.
I am lost, confused and dismantled inside
I begged of him please, with my emotions so frail
My heart, I asked, he would not derail
Yet, with this in mind and my spirit so shattered
He did not hesitate, and my heart, he so eloquently battered
And with my heart on a hook that he so delicately did bait
So smooth and unsuspected he did not hesitate
He removed my heart through his sneaky ways
Unsuspected, yet intertwining through many of days
He became a man whom I never expected
A man of whom my past is reflected
He lied to me many times over
So sleazy and slimy I should call him rover
And with this new found broken trust
With this unsuspecting disgusting lust
My heart takes a position where it is difficult to gleam
I realize again that my life is a make-belief dream.
