*Broken Dreams*

You say you'd like to go beyond
the destination of this world

You own the dreams of the dreamers . . .
and they shall be yours.

You have yet to find the gold . . .
the treasure that lies within your soul.

You have the aspirations of everyone
and the motivation of the lost.

I'm sorry to sit here and watch that very life
crumble
As your dreams excel
beyond belief.

If only I had the courage . . .
the strength . . .
the passion . . .
to open your eyes to the failure
you refuse to see.

But then what would become of me?

So I allow you to be lost
in your anticipation . . .
your obsession
and when I find the distance so much
I can't even feel your touch . . .
I'll let go.
Lose touch with my reality.
And fall to the depths my heart and soul fear so much.
