Boulevard of Broken Dreams

 Many dreams are woven in this beautiful place
A place so charming, lovers are drawn to the water
Watching the sun slowly change the color of its face
As it gets dark and colder, the lovers become hotter
The setting sun is always a lovely, romantic sight
For lovers: local and foreign tourists alike
Surprised to know it’s now an urban blight
Frequented by people whom you may dislike
Pimps and prostitutes lined the boulevard
Where young lovers used to kiss and dream
About having their own house with a backyard
While sharing and licking a melting ice-cream
Gone are the days of youth; whose souls are in despair
To see their beloved boulevard, now beyond repair!
