Only A Dream

It was only a dream...

Only a dream.

I sweep up the remains

Of shattered stars,

Hide the scars

Behind a smile.

Not wanting to appear the fool

For believing for a while.

I feel like a fool...

Just like a fool.

Each time that fate tempts me

With promises,

Then admonishes

My gullibility,

Then without remorse or compassion

Removes all possibility.

Still I close my eyes...

I close my eyes.
