poetry of the confused soul

Hopeless

You're hopeless

I see it in your eyes

In your smile

And through your lies

It's my fault

I know that

I took your heart

And nearly stomped it flat

You tell me you love me

I stay silent in return

Even though I feel the same

I feel it start to burn

I don't want to watch you fall

Hear your screams of terror

See you with those lifeless eyes

And notice your hand tremors

I can't bring myself to say it back

For I don't want to watch it again

To see you cry with those grief-filled tears

From the past that I tried to mend
