Analysis of Hope Denied
When love deceives,
the heart to bleed,
its truth an open wound
Forever long,
time’s painful gong,
rerung with every moon
When love deceives,
on bended knees,
and lost within the pain
All wishes fly,
with hope denied
—as emptiness remains
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
