Heartbreak of Bittersweet

once it was a dream
then it was reality
now a delusion

no where to go now
one’s heart’s desire a relic
only link that’s left

is it wrong to keep?
let it go the healthy path?
the best part of me

painful connection
attachment bond to deep self
the reason to live

tattered and broken
why is it clung to so tight?
the inner child knows
