When Hope Turns Into Bitter Tears

What more in life is there to fear,

when hope turns into bitter tears,

as the salty drops fill your mouth,

to leave behind a life full of doubt,

in any hope of brighter tomorrows,

only darker days of saddest sorrow,

of pleading with the heavens above,

“Why is it you've taken my true love?”

A rare one and only second chance,

to find true love and sweet romance,

a girl with whom to spend each day,

in hopes of stealing her heart away¹,

hopes to have her as my sweet wife,

to give her children and a good life,

a happy home with blue skies above,

pledging my faithfulness in true love,

to never cease in losing my breath,

every time she smiled until my death,

knowing full well she was too young,

a love song destined to never be sung,

clueless that she could ever feel as I,

clueless as to the many reasons why,

she took her life after I saw her last,

leaving me to live in a sorrowful past,

standing by her grave fighting tears,

death holding forth not a single fear,

only wishing to have her by my side,

the girl who was never to be a bride,

committing suicide to leave me alone,

without her to ever hold as my own,

when hope turns into bitter tears ...
