Dreams Surrendered
By Charmain Porter

Looking at my life of dreams surrendered
Falling deeply into the valley of no view
A painted picture stands alone of you
Stone cold eyes of haunted pain
Shadows conjured on a mountain due
A background of legend sheltering dreams
Lead me to heavens of flaming heat
Blinded by morning sun bring more rain
For travelling high to run from the pain
Look at you standing all alone
It no longer means anything to me
The past is far away now
I can not turn back to betrayal
I tried to surrender in turn you failed
Never a question I could ask
To protect you is so wrong
Just go back to where you belong
I touched your soul once
You can not understand I am not that angel
You never left that life you wished to leave
I gave all I could it wasn’t enough
Go back to your home a mere empty vessel
Of untouched cold love
