How do you measure the loss of a dream?

In tears,

Sleepless nights

Or (broken)heart beats..

[A romantic fantasy unfulfilled despite your finest efforts.]

Pouring all of yourself into someone else’s heart

Only to have them wring you out.

I lie in a puddle at her feet as she steps over me-

And then she is gone.

Yet,

Here I lay a liquidy mass of mixed emotions.

Yearning to learn how to pull myself back together.


So, how do you measure the loss of a dream-

The loss of a love that was (maybe) never

Meant to be..?


I guess it’s just time to wake up.

  1. awesome poem, Jess.... I only wish that the moments in my life when I felt that, that I could have expressed it so eloquently, so "to the point" of how I was feeling... thank you so much for sharing, and allowing that glimpse into your soul... xo
