Cruel Hope

Every hope
Broken,
Foolish heart
Refuses the lesson
And hope...
Hope still wins
Smirks
O taunting hope
Bribes and beckons.
Yet again...and again.
An end never changing
Awaits.
The delicate dream
Shattered remains.
Lone shoulders
Burdened left alone.
O imprudent heart,
Will ye not learn yet?!
Hope shall spring eternal
But you...O you...
Shall remain defeated.
