FUNERAL OF A DREAM

Mourn I today
The death of a dream:
Being cremated
On Reality’s pyre,
Engulfed with fury
By cruel Fate’s fire;
Stinging my eyes,
Singeing my soul,
And as I stand looking
At the ashes grey,
I feel so light-
I am emptied of Life.

Could you stop labelling other poems under "adolescent love poems"? It's a terrible, terrible classification.
