My Heart's Dreams

Never giving up on love

Dreamy relationships, just a few,
  only none of them were a dream come true.
But steady holding onto hope,
  I'm constantly giving myself more rope.
One day I know I'm gonna hang
  for foolishly believing that love will find a way,
  that soulmates exist,
  that fairy tales do come true,
  that happily ever after is something you are...
      not something  you do.

Every failure, a stumbling block,
    gets in my way.
Chipping away my confidence,
    hesitation marking my delay.
My carefree approach to life,
    threatened by bitterness;
    what a lonely plight.
But I hang on,
  my rope of hope is still strong.
The fallen ones are distant memories.
Once stumbling blocks;
  now are just gravel on the twisting,
  winding road of my heart's dreams.
