Withering Dream (Poetry)

Time takes its toll

On a withered dream

The love couldn't hold

Another failure tale told

It is a page

Full of regrets

Untested tests

Knees buckled

Eyes couldn't stop crying

No method of apology

Just reflections in an anthology

Turned my back on the past

Solemnly, it is no longer welcome

Expression of depression

Lacked in certain direction

Stricken by unusual infection

Not allowed to feel such affection

Found the deepest hole

Burying my dream

No time for lies untold

Nothing more is to unfold

The truth's unfeeling and cold

No room to show emotion

No formula for the magic love potion

Can no longer maintain this backward motion

Withering away

This love is depleted

Withering dream

Horribly misled

Withering love

Rapidly retreated

Time takes its toll

On a withered dream

The love wasn't meant to hold

Another sad story told
