.

I hope it isn't the nature of love

.

To be defined at it's end,

.

By devastation.

.

.

I hope it isn't the nature of trust

.

To feel betrayed.

.

.

I hope that isn't the case.

.

.

Because it's the small consolation

.

That I still know how to cling to.

.

.

I hope it isn't predicated

.

On the irrelevance of mutual responsibility -

.

Because in the end, if love fails,

.

Who cares who's fault, and by which percentage,

.

Blame should be assigned to. 
.

.

It shouldn't make any difference

.

If hope is a foolish practice -

.

.

And if love, only is, by extension,

.

Hope's fool's errand.

.
