Once, I dreamt of happiness
The kind with rainbows, and butterflies,
A white picket fence, entrapped my home,
A farmhouse of antique design.
Dogs did bark
Kids ran free,
Laughter created music
Smiles were on scene.
But, across the way
A storm was brewing,
Grey, and dark
All too consuming.
My hopes were dashed, in the blink of an eye,
Mere seconds it took to destroy.
Leaving me alone, to bear the pain,
My happy dreams were no more.
