Great Expectations
My hopeful heart misleads me,
Tainting my life with hope and confusion,
How I long for her to be near me,
When I'm carried away on this dream of illusion,
In dreams I feel closer to love,
But reality bites and leaves me forlorn,
All alone in this world without her,
With a yearning heart left tattered and torn.
The comfort of sleep eludes me,
As time slowly lingers long in the night,
Visions of her seem to haunt me,
Stealing the stars and a pale moonlight,
My thoughts slowly wander till morning,
The longing for her has stolen my sleep,
But my mind is consumed by these visions,
And my heart is consumed by the dreams that I keep,
In fantasies of love I feel jaded,
I pray for the day she lays by my side,
And as the dawns light paints the picture,
The wistful sun lingers long in my eyes,
A mirage of beauty evades me,
Walking by in my mind way beyond reaching hand,
As I cling to this vision that's leaving,
Leaving me lost in the dawn's barren land.
