&quot;You love someone, you open yourself up to suffering, that&#039;s the sad truth. Maybe they&#039;ll break your heart, maybe you&#039;ll break their heart and never be able to look at yourself in the same way. Those are the risks. The thought of losing so much control over personal happiness is unbearable. That&#039;s the burden. Like wings, they have weight, we feel that weight on our backs, but they are a burden that lifts us. Burdens which allow us to fly...&quot;<br /> -Dr. Jack Hodgins (Bones)

Shattered.
Too many mistakes.
No support.
No Hope.
No Love.
It doesn't matter.
I just have my Shattered Dreams.

By accident,
on purpose.
Because of me,
because of a stranger,
it doesn't matter.
I just have my Shattered Dreams.

As one crumbles,
a new one is born.
But they never last long.
Whether it be fairy tale beliefs,
or a human feeling,
it doesn't matter.
I just have my Shattered Dreams.

But, there is a ray of light.
If someone will believe,
support,
hope,
love,
it will matter.
I won't just have my Shattered Dreams.

This is just a piece about how sometimes our dreams are just dreams, nothing more. And sometimes, they are broken.
