Dreams that Die

Feeling hurt one day.

The walls come crashing down at once

Rubble, blood, tears, screams

You look around and nobody notices, nobody cares

You see that no one rushes to your rescue or hugs or listens to you

The walls come crashing down at once

And you're all alone in the emptiness

The metaphorical hell

The psychological torture

The walls come crashing down at once

Hard, relentless, no mercy

No friends to save you

No love to embrace you

Just you standing in rubble and soot

Blood and tears everywhere

But nobody cares, nobody looks over

This is present day family and friends

This is present day neighbors and colleagues

All strangers when you need them the most
