His Crushed Hope
The trees around blew words in wind
A young man grasped them
The branches spoke to intertwine
The one he thought a gem
So one day he led her to a crossing
The water glistening a smile for him
As his thoughts were waltzing
And his words swim
From his lips into her ears
Sweet melodies of binds
Something he has wanted for years
And a calling back she finds
He sees the glimmer in her eyes
And knows its not a bless
So his breath becomes a sigh
And he pleas “please say yes”
She looks like she is lost
His words never this bittersweet
His eyes were glossed
And thumping was her heartbeat
The next thing he hears will break his heart
Ripping out the hope plant
The next thing from his sweethart
He hears “I can’t”
