Expectations Kill

Sometimes it's not a fault of the other person,

Rather our relationships are killed,

By our own expectations, leaving behind,

A hole in our lives that can never again be filled.

The dreams we dream all on our own,

The things we hope for regardless,

Of what the other person may want,

Leading to our love's demise, creating a mess.

We see what we wish to see and not the truth,

We believe what we want to believe,

And not the reality of our situation,

In the end, all we are left with... is grief.

Let me tell you something you need to know,

Listen to this, it is a story of woe and despair,

Expectations kill, sometimes more than just a relation,

Heed my words, I hope they are loud and clear.

Expectations kill your happiness and your peace of mind,

So, if you wish to be happy in life,

Don't expect a thing from people you love,

Because expectations kill, plunging into your heart like a knife.
