Sigh
she sighs
and you can feel
every ounce of sadness
in that single breath
her chest rising with hope
then falling with disappointment
inhaling a wish
exhaling wistful dismay
why does she insist
on hoping so much
when she knows
all that trust
will only bring her torment
her discontent ferments
until all her hope is spent
and every single breath
is a sigh of deep regret
