The Most Dangerous Thing

                                             By Desire Shaw




She didn't know why she bothered

What was the use?

When all that she faced was utter disappointment



But still the part of her

That pumped blood to her brain

Always overpowering it,

Made her hope again



It would be different this time

Heart said to Brain

He would not do it again



Brain rebelled against it

Tried to drown it

With logic and past experiences

But hope won out



Brain stood, watching from the sidelines

Waiting for the disappointment to come

Accompanying it utter despair



Heart still hoped, Brain still rebelled

And she fell for it every single time

When daddy said he'd be home

To tuck her into bed



So she finally recognised

The most dangerous thing on Earth

Was not hope, but false hope
