Analysis of Broken Dreams
Eileen Goldberg 1950 (Brooklyn)
These feelings, apparent, so easy
to see,
are breaking the heart that’s inside
of me.
I’m taking them out, I’m finding
a place
to put them safely, just in case.
Can’t breathe with them in there,
may never again.
Can’t imagine my life without you
my friend.

About this poem
Friends are the flowers in the garden of life. Losing one has no words adequate to describe how it affects one.
