I got the idea for this series from real life. Sometimes life doesn't deal us a fair hand. Love decides, for many reasons, it wants you to feel it but it shouldn't be returned. This is MY poem about my heart and the man I love.

doesn't want to, be healed. 

~ 

Her hopes aren't high. 

Faded in the distance 

of her lonely mind. 

They walked out the door 

same time he did. 

Her only hope now 

is to survive each day as it came. 

She's cold to the touch, 

and hard to the core. 

Life has dealt 

a fatal blow. 

There is no return. 

~ 

She wishes no longer. 

Wishes are for 

those who believe. 

To base something 

so important on wishes 

seemed senseless to her. 

Emotions are hidden 

behind a face masked 

with plastic smiles. 

~ 

She prays to God above, 

longs for Him to end her suffering, 

yearns for a something more. 

But realizes it's not to be 

when you hold onto the past. 

Beautiful and serene, 

lonely and betrayed, 

unforgiven and forgettable, 

she looks out the window at life. 

~ 

Still she waits, dreams, 

hopes, wishes, 

and, prays 

to be the object of 

~ 

My desire.
