My Broken Dream

I worked through days and nights

Forgetting my nights of sleep and my breaks.

I worked as hard as a horse

But everything went up in smoke.

I spent hours and hours selecting the tiles,

I spent hours and hours choosing the paint.

I spent hours and hours on the furniture.

But everything went up in smoke.

Every single effort of mine can never be renewed.

Every single penny that went into building that house cannot be brought back.

The smile I always wore also can never be brought back.

Because the fire took that everything away.

The content days of deep satisfaction have vanished now,

leaving only tears and sobbing now with me.

Taking away my dream of owning a house.

Because the fire took that everything away.
