A Mad Lover's Hope

Is she really mad (crazy) for hoping?

The roses seem so real to me

Even though they're all just a dream

A long gone faded memory

That will haunt me in time

My love has gone and left me

I sit here and weep

Just thinking about him causes sadness

Tomorrow he'll come back

Tomorrow he'll come home

I hold onto meaningless hopes

As tears stream down my pale face

I'm presented with a work of art

It's beauty hypnotizes me

Trapping my soul ever so deeply in it

The reds, the browns

The blacks, the greys

They're filled with blades

Beauty in my sadness grows stronger

As my love continuously grows weaker

He knows he'll never come back to me

Though I fail to believe that

He'll come back

He'll come back to me

Because he is my love

He will come back one day

He will

Is this fiction? I was so involved in the read and the post script gave me chills.. It felt like you were a news caster relating a true story.. Which is it? Great piece of writing.. shallimarRose

Yes, this is all fiction. I made it up myself. I've always liked the thought of making something like this, and I ended up doing so. Thank you for the review.
