We've all had relationships that fell apart, with broken dreams etc....


Where dreams go to die.

Remember all those hopes and dreams?
We dared believe the world was ours,
but jealous words, with cancerous seed
tore heart from heart, the love devoured,
I watched, through tear-filled angry eyes
as step-by-step, destroyed by guilt
the grief grows strong as passion dies.
Hate crushes all the life we built.
Now shattered hopes, lost one by one
like ashes, scattered to the winds
that once burned bright, now faded, gone
sit, decomposed, by touch of sin
amongst the shadows, heartbreak lies
where broken dreams all go, to die.
