Have you ever plunged into the depths of despair
Gave it all for someone you would find didn't care
Broke your heart beyond any real hope of repair
Have you ever gave up on the dream
Have you ever in moments when all on your own
Dipped back into the defects you thought you'd outgrown
Smashed your hopes into pieces alongside your phone
Have you ever gave up on the dream
Have you ever deliberately blocked out the sun
Cried through that type of pain you can never outrun
Hoarded triggers without even owning a gun
Have you ever gave up on the dream
Have you ever been able to silence the dread
Washing over you each time you climb into bed
Felt those eyes burn a hole in the back of your head
Have you ever gave up on the dream
Would you ever allow me to help you unwind
If it takes one to know one we're two of a kind
Look in each other's soul and let's see what we find
Soundly sleep then wake up to the dream

Yes I think I've given up on the dream. This is such a brilliant poem! I like the line, "Dipped back into the defects you thought you'd outgrown" I mean every stanza has something I can relate to. I really like that last one.....thanks for taking me on a journey, Stevie! Christina

Dear friend your poem plunges into the depths of the human psyche, and all it's vulnerabilities, the last stanza putting it beautifully into perspective. Loved it!

Lovely and much appreciated comment
Many thanks
If only that dream had a chance to become reality, but fear of the unknown can be a scary thing, but sometimes we have to take that chance and leap blindly into the beautiful flames, and become vulnerable and give that special someone that you can't get out of your mind a chance, give her a call let her convey all the emotions she holds inside so sacred and afraid to let loose, because of the pain of her past,
Think about it, you know who I'm talking about
Have a good dream.
