Shattered Dreams and Future Schemes

A dream that's shattered can hurt so much
An emotional pain that needs a crutch
A scheme to make the pain all disappear
Can bring an end to the pain felt here
Dreams are there for you to lean on
What can you do once they are gone?
Dreams are how we live our lives
And no one will tell me otherwise
So, once you've broken these dreams of mine
I hope you know that I will use my mind
To scheme, and plan, and find new hopes
What if, to your dismay, I go and elope?
Would that teach you that dreams are not
Meant to be shattered, and left to rot?
Would it teach you that I, when put to the test,
Can scheme up plans that you will detest?
Next time you try to ruin me
Maybe you'll see this and just let me be.
