Shattered Dreams

My dreams were shattered that dreary day
with the ringing of a bell and what she had to say
just one night before, my sweetheart was untrue
why did he do this to make me blue...

Before this day I felt the world aglow
my dreams have ended with this terrible blow
I remember all his suffering and pain
how I stood by his side with nothing to gain...

Perhaps this love is not meant to be
the deep hurt inside me, can't he see...
for if he did, he'd see a heart tattered and torn
the death of a love for which I mourn...

Dear God, the circle of love is not complete
you didn't touch our heads with your Cross of Gold...
endeavors of love has ended in defeat.
