An Observation on the Way We Cannot Be (Hope is A Sure Route to Disaster)

If I’m going to be honest
And true to my word
What I write down here
Will never be repeated
And will never be heard.

(It takes a lifetime to bleed to death from heartache)

A path awaits me
The longest I will know
Decisions disobey me
No choice but to go.

Alone? One more life.
Goodbye. Endless strife.

Forgetting the beauty
Though it is more
I only know my duty
And the letters I tore.

No faith in giving.
Of love conquers all.
Invented by dreamers
To explain why we fall.

I could spend my life searching
For the only one
A waste of breath, and hurting
To do what will get done.

Hope is a vision
Of what we cannot be
In life we are restricted
In death we are set free.

My musings go unnoticed
We’re all too quick to hide
Another weakness man must face
We can’t disguise our pride.

Life begins
And then it’s over
Barely time to settle in.
But if I find
A four leaf clover
I’ll take on life and always win.
