Hope Retained

Although she took
My hope away
I took some back
On that same day

I’m sorry but
I can’t give in
No, not like that
I must re-begin

From here on out
I’ll dedicate
Part of my heart
During the wait

Piece by piece
I’ll reconstruct
That which broke
And fell amuck

I can’t give up
No not this time
Was such a fool
I lost my mind
