No Hope

And do you want to know what hurt the worst? 
It wasn’t the words that weren’t said,
and it wasn’t the way you said them. 
It was all about the words that you did say, 
and the way that they meant absolutely nothing. 
The way that you made it seem so easy to only pay attention to the bad, 
and ignore what I thought was the good.
That you ignored all the things that meant something to me, 
that you ignored everything I felt and the way I felt it. 
That you didn’t care, 
and that once again I put my feelings on the line just to watch them get crushed.. just to watch myself be embarrassed again by the one guy I had so much hope for. 
You used to be so promising,
being with you seemed to be so promising. 
I wasted so much time hoping and feeling like you are the one for me, 
but once again I was so wrong.. and once again I was so wrong about the way things would work out. 
This time I fought, 
and I guess I fought for the wrong person. 
Once again, 
I fought for the wrong person that I hoped was the one. 
But that’s just the thing about hope.. it’s just hope. 
And I guess hope means nothing in a world full of unsaid things.

Such a true feeling for so many people...I had a very similar experience myself a few years back. Thank you for writing such a beautiful piece that touches on such a universal range of emotions. It seems like we always hope and fight for the wrong thing or wrong person. Beautiful piece!

Strange how we often time spend too much time chasing those or things not worthy of of chase.

Just the accuracy of this is very disappointing. It sucks chasing the hopeless things.
