Broken Heart

At the dawn of this golden spring 
My heart broke 
And like a wilted flower 
He lost all his beauty 
Like a dream unfinished 
Our story ended abruptly 
Carrying away with him our crazy thoughts 
Between yesterday’s dreams and today’s reality my mind was sailing 
Awaken, I could no longer sleep so I stay here pondering over what was going on 
Morpheus my friend of yesterday left me 
God of heaven, am I lost? 
Have I taken the wrong path? 
My heart, frail like a newborn 
Is trampled again 
But driven by an innate maternal instinct 
I wrapped him  in a white linen 
And like a rekindled flame 
He beamed and let himself be lulled 
In the hollow of my cosy arms 
Galvanized by a strong glimmer of hope and pride 
We are now ready to stand up and face 
Because isn’t it true that only those who struggle meet success and joy 
Therefore we will seek for happiness wherever it is
