Yes, it's not what people like to hear and yes, it's bad to be cynical. But I'm allowed my moments of doubt. In any case, I'm still a total flirt. <br /> <br /> <br />No one can catch a break, <br />either women and men opened up wide. <br />Oh, it's all in the same take: <br />heavy hearts eating up his/her chest, <br />co-dependence and a hand to hold, <br />worry over whose going to love you best. <br />We got to have someone keep us warm? <br />When does it ever actually get that cold? <br /> <br />And there are hundreds of reasons, <br />thousands of poems and songs, <br />millions of worn-out claims <br />billions of explanations <br />as to why it all mattered. <br />I don't think we even remember. <br />Why was it worth all <br />the dead dreams, <br />the sacrifice, <br />the loss, <br />the ugly side of hope? <br /> <br />Don't even mention it. <br />Don't mention the word, <br />not to me. <br />I worshiped, <br />and I prayed. <br />But betrayal <br />and death holds <br />so little sanctity.<br /><br />Delilah Miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-let-it-stay-that-way/
