ODE TO HOPELESS LOVE

is love truly hopeless

 

 

Is my love hopeless?
dried in the sun
like a raisin
withered but still sweet

is my love hopeless?
dripping like rain
down a sewer drain
into a river dried
like tears i cried

Is my love hopeless?
like dreams untrue
my faith in you

Is my love hopeless?
undressed as depressed
shattered with no rest
trying to impress
always settling for less

Is my love hopeless?
as i search for you
never finding love true
wandering in emptiness
pitied for bitterness

Is my love hopeless?
is it just me?
hopeless
knowing i’m lonely
Is my love
hopeless
