Broken Dreams

He allowed himself to reminisce,
But it made him sad:
So many things that he would miss;
The fun that they'd once had.
Since the beginning they had grown
But not closer together
Now he must reap what she had sown
And know they weren't forever.

She listened deafly as he spoke
And only saw his eyes:
Her heartfelt scream was but a croak
He could not feel her cries.
He remembered in their prime
When laughter came in streams;
But when she looked back on their time
She saw only broken dreams.
