Why did I do it?
I let myself hope again.
All my dreams have been shattered.
I am the only one to blame.

Happiness is an elusive thing.
It tugs at my heart,
Teases me onward,
Then lets me be ripped apart.

Every time I try
To catch the golden beast
I end up in pain.
Will I ever find peace?

I am fragile,
And now I've been broken.
It's my own fault
For leaving myself open.

I should know better.
Has hope ever paid off?
Not in my life.
My dreams never remain aloft.

Yet it will happen again.
To the skys I will aim.
I have been broken.
My hopes still remain.
