Under shattered hopes and dreams

Under shattered hopes and dreams
Under my heart, its scattered debris
Lies your memory and my love for you
Unscathed, unmarred, alive with hope anew

You’re a part of my conscience, my being
You’re in my thoughts, stalking my memory
I don’t want to forget you, I don’t want to try
Loving you with my whole being I can’t deny

You’re the hope that keeps me alive
You’re the reason I can still live and smile
Tears and pain are part of life and heartache
Sweetheart, you’ll always be my favorite mistake.
