You Cling To Hope
Unrequited love is shallow;
lacking depth, it cannot float dreams.
Yet, you will forego happiness
for a lifetime of silent screams.
Both tormentor and destroyer,
doubt devastates your sense of pride.
A heart that craves a love denied
will wilt and slowly die inside.
Wishes attack reality;
striking with irrational force.
Unattainable dreams fuel
frustration, anger, and remorse.
Truth defines the expectations
and anticipations of youth.
And yet, you have fallen in love;
acknowledging no other truth.
Feeling lost, nothing seems real;
drowning in tears, you cling to hope.
Yet rejected hearts tend to break;
finding it difficult to cope.
