An Affair of the Heart
How Far Will Hope Go?
Come the weekend my heart
Anticipates you
My mind knows anticipating
Is a path of pain
With you
Anticipates you
My mind knows anticipating
Is a path of pain
With you
My heart hopes
Where there is none
And wagers
Against all odds
My heart knows your heart
My heart believes
You will set things right
My heart has faith
In you
My mind knows your mind
Holds your heart prisoner
And yet my mind continues to wait
But one day, it will stop.

A very lovely poem. It says so much;-)
Very heart-felt poem, nice and sweet.
Great poem :)
Part of the overview was omitted. Here it is in full:
"A long ago poem to a long ago love illustrates the struggle of attempting to love a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I have to admit that I changed the last couple of lines, which originally had me waiting forever."
12 years was enough :(
