A Tangle of Hurt and Happiness - A collection of poetry

Thought, Hoped, and Trusted

I had thought that time would heal my heart.
I believed I'd somehow find a way to restart.
I truly thought I would,
Until I realized I never could.


And I had hoped, my love, that I would know,
One day, how to let you go.
But how that bitterness swarmed my heart,
When I learned that I knew not.


I had trusted the saying,
"Things won't stay the same, time is always changing."
But my heart is listless,
And no one is there to offer assistance.


And I had faith in waiting,
Knowing nothing good came from chasing.
But how much longer can I endure,
When rewards aren't ensured?


I had thought, hoped, and trusted.
Believed even when my heart was rusted.
This entire time, I have loved you.
But, mon coeur, I can't do this anymore, it's true.
