Brighter Year

Wish away the disappointment Will away the tears Hope for better days Forget about your fears Sit and wait so helplessly Feel the crack upon your heart Scream your pain into a pillow Hate hate hate this part Wait for the ring of the phone The silence drones on and on You know he's going to call You know it won't be long Your eyes are red and puffy And finally a noise you hear You click on and say hello You knew this moment was near You let him say he's sorry Like many times before You tell him good bye You could handle him no more The cheating and lies are over Moving on should be easy from here Now you dry your puffy eyes And look on to a brighter year

Yes, Jen, this is unfortunately the way it works. We hope and wait for those we love to offer hope, but sometimes "sorry" doesn't cut it. That's when our best option is to "look on to a brighter year" in our quest for true love. Very touching poem -- heartfelt and nicely structured. Love, Carolyn
