I've heard hopes enough, <br />Enough to keep you alive, <br />They say that hopes a joyous feeling, <br />Hope that they''ll come back, <br />Hope they'll see their mistake, <br />But hope hurts more than the the deepest betrayal, <br />It keeps you awake at night, <br />With dreams that tomorow, <br />Well, that tomorrow everything will go back, <br />Back to how it was, <br />Back to love and happiness, <br />And then in the morning when nothings changed, <br />When your all alone, <br />Wondering why, <br />Then you know the truth of hope, <br />That hope gives you sleepless nights, <br />The pain thats throbbing in your chest, <br />The knowledge that for all your want, <br />It will never be the same, <br />And that hope is the biggest betrayal.<br /><br />Holly Heron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hope-29/
