In love, we find the answer to our prayers

A hope that leads us towards a future fair

But sometimes love will lead us to despair

And we'll find ourselves alone, in deep despair

Betrayal comes as a cruel surprise

Painful as a thousand cutting knives

But in the end, it teaches us to be wise

To walk away from those who don't deserve our lives

Identity is something we all seek

A way to find ourselves, to be unique

But often it's in the love we keep

That our truest selves we learn to speak

Hope is the light that guides us through

A beacon in the dark, to see us through

And even in the darkest days, it's true

That hope will always lead us to something new

Faith is what we hold onto tight

A guiding force throughout our darkest night

It gives us strength to face life's fight

And lifts us up towards a future bright

Dreams are the things that keep us going

The fire that keeps our spirits glowing

For every dream, there's a path worth knowing

To make our aspirations keep on growing

Memories are the treasures we keep

The moments we cherish and sometimes weep

They remind us of a love that's deep

And keep its warmth alive while we sleep

In love, betrayal, identity, hope, faith, dreams, and memories

We find the things that make us complete

They shape our lives with their mysteries

And make us strong enough to face anything we meet.

Erica, may I see something concerning your phone? There is a man named Oscar Wilde, who said that art is the strongest form of individualism that the world has ever know. This poem reminds me of that. I would like to work with you. If you would have me. I would like to help edit this poem. To make you greater. What do you say?….m

This is pretty good, actually. It's nice to see that you've written an actual poem, with a proper rhyme and rhythm. Most people on this website don't bother. Anyway, I suppose my interpretation is that it's about a romantic relationship with a partner whom you thought would be wonderful, but who turned out not to be so great after all. I can't really infer anything beyond that from what you've written. Also, this is just my personal oppinion, but I really think ennemeter is a bit too long of a poetic meter. I would probably suggest not writing your poetry in anything longer than octometer at the most. If you write your poetry in any meter longer than that, I think it makes the rhythm hard to follow.

"In love, betrayal, identity, hope, faith, dreams, and memories
We find the things that make us complete
They shape our lives with their mysteries
And make us strong enough to face anything we meet."
I think you said it all right here.
