Silenced Dreams

Silenced Dreams
Turn to nightmares it seems 

Haunting your soul 
They tear your heart apart
You try to run 
But end up where you start

Cut up in a bed of shattered glass
You close your eyes but alas

Your silenced dream
Is a nightmare it screams

You lie awake
And ask
How much longer until this will pass?

And as your soul to heaven is cast
Your silenced dream? Silenced at last.
 
But in peace they will not rest
Abandoned in your quest
These dreams you failed to quell
Were silenced by your despair
