aving Hope…
I am that beacon of light that guides you
that twinkle in your eyes
I am that which assist you when you are lost
to get you out of your darkest despair
I am that little voice in your head
To turn you away from danger
when you think all hope is gone
I am the one that beats you up
I am your inner self

She tied a noose of past lovers
And placed it around her current lovers’ neck
Each knot she tied was full of their mistakes
And her old regrets
Too much for any man to bear on their shoulders
So he chose to bear it around his neck
She built their relationship like a table on which he
stands
If this table moves, he hangs
Its legs were made of mistrust and lies
Broken promises and past lovers ties
The fourth leg was broken from the beginning
It was to be made of honesty, fidelity and the rest of
their lives.
I am you
and you are me
Together we will never give up
nor give in
For we are destined for great things
We are HOPE
HOLD ONTO PRESERVING ENERGY
(HOPE)
Happiness Overcomes Persistent Encouragement

Leg three was unorthodox
As he tried loving her outside the box
But that only got his back boxed in
So he’s back in the love box
Back boxing love
Only getting his love boxed in.
The second leg was never strong
Based on her sense of right and wrong
And not knowing what made herself happy
So nothing he did was ever enough
But he kept on believing in love
The first leg was him never knowing what to do
To the point of her saying
“It’s not you, it’s me. I don’t like you”
She saw him as the competition
He needed her to be his completion.
