Hope Won’t Give Up
Surrendering passion's flames,
innocence acquiesces to sin.
And your fledgling heart plays games,
convinced you will always win.
You believe promises of joy,
pampered egos conceive.
Then you're yesterday's toy,
having learned lovers deceive.
It has happened more than once,
that sadness filled your heart.
And it hurts to play the dunce,
watching your dreams fall apart.
Somewhere between fear and pain,
is a place nightmares take shape.
And it can drive you insane,
for there's nowhere to escape.
Pleading direction from above,
you suffer for your mistakes.
Yet hope won't give up on love,
gaining strength as truth awakes.
