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.
