Analysis of Nightmare
When will I awake
From this nightmare
That causes my heart to ache
She lives on without a care
As my heart bleeds in despair
I try to move on
But the tears continue to fall
Yesterday I had it all
Today it's all gone
Love was supposed to be great
And last forever
But it was a fake
And ended in terror
This is no nightmare
Its is my reality
A broken man, I now am
A bleeding heart I will carry
To the end
