Plans are shattered, hopes lost <br />Amid a tangle of resentful thoughts: <br />The mind receives a dulling thud <br />For its excited time has all been spent <br />For naught. <br />Only the anguish left behind <br />Can remind us of the void within, <br />And so we force a smile to show <br />We do not mind, and hide <br />With desperate care, our vacant soul <br />And dare forget the disappointment.<br /><br />Philippa Lane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/disappointment-4/
