So many broken things
Hearts for starters
Fractured
Laid out on sleeves

Bodies
Time worn
Used up
Spirit waiting to leave

Egos
Shattered
Kicked aside
Lost pride

Families
Unglued
Split
Drifting away

Promises
Thoughtful words
No meaning intended
Trashed by the giver

Wishes
Most lying
Unfulfilled
In wells of tears

Dreams
Many gone
Destroyed by morning
As reality enters eyes

Shoot I do so dislike reality. Yes, many broken things mostly for me it is broken dreams that I have no way of fixing. I am a little bit afraid to believe in my dreams anymore...it is safer just to accept things are they are because dreams don't come true. Very well written, Sir Robert.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

This one definitely qualifies as buried treasure Robert, I certainly hope that folks take a second chance to read it. Reality can indeed be sad, but it IS reality and we should see it.

No one ever listened themselves into trouble.
