Defeated Wishes...

Hopes dissolved in time’s quake
And I kept on watching them die!
Desires shrunk in emotion’s lake,
While I looked on with a sigh!

Highly expectant I went there,
With lots of wishes in heart;
But saw you, O’ darling dear
Enjoying youth, bathing in dirt!

I tried and tried, but in vain,
To take you home, call you by name,
But each try was scorned by feign
Each call defeated by your game.

Helpless and lonely, in defeat,
I traced my path to home
Sad and depressed I slowly laid
The dying flowers to moan.

I came to realize that wishes
not always had to be true;
…from dust had myself I sought
that dust has snatched you!
