Broken Hearts and Shattered Dreams

Broken hearts and shattered dreams
That’s all he’s got, or so it seems
From years of loving hard and true
And doing things not easy to
Romantic kid, ambitious fool
Heart wide open, world so cruel
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
That’s all he’s got, or so it seems

A heart that breaks but always mends
A will that only slightly bends
But will not break or be deterred
Even by a dream deferred
A masochist with foolish pride
And strength that will not be denied
But broken hearts and shattered dreams
That’s all he’s got, or so it seems

Remove the heart, for pities sake
For one won’t have, then one can’t break
Erase the dreams and clear the mind
There is a bliss in being blind
But take those things and what would be
For this is his identity
Its all he’s got, or so it seems
Those broken hearts and shattered dreams

And so it is and shall it be
He walks this path religiously
Never a stop along the way
Ask where he’s going, he will not say
What’s in that bag he holds so tight
The one he grips with all his might
Its all he’s got, or so it seems
His broken heart and shattered dreams

  1. I can identify with this guy. I dropped my bag and realized my dreams were always all I had.
