broken dreams

Broken dreams

Forgotten hopes

As I walk alone

The bricks crumble from beneath my feet

‘cause all I see is a tattered and torn street

Filled with another mans beat

As the Rasta fills the Man’s lungs with trees

They drive away mocking his accent with defeat

Brazilian Queen pours a wondrous song from her soul

As they watch her smoking another bowl

They all laugh and stare

Commenting on her hair

Some clenching their purses with fear

As they run back to their golden leers

Sadness devours my heart

Broken dreams

Forgotten hopes

As I walk alone

Contemplating, with a hesitant groan of a stranger behind me

I finally decided to take my tears home

But as I turned around to take one more look

Men of broken dreams

Woman of forgotten hope

Disappear right before my eyes

Straight into thin air

And there I was left to glare

Questioning were they ever really there
