Poem
Once upon a time there was a hopeless man, and all that he wanted was for someone to truly understand He wanted to help in the only way that he knew how, and so he started his quest so that he could eventually take his bow He promised to heal a broken heart with his love so true, he offered the naïve girl a solution to all that she had been through He told her that he had the cure that all that she had to do was believe, and that he could change her life and be her everything In turn she promised to love him and show him love like he never knew, but in the end due to his decisions she was unable to He did everything right saying all the right things that she needed to hear, he held her when she cried and wiped away her tears He told her that she was magical that she couldn’t be real, that he had looked for her his whole life and that now he is able to feel He held her in his arms and told her his love was true, he said there would never be another that “my heart belongs to only you” He said that he wanted to be with her until the end of time, but someone must have sped up the ending because you’re no longer mine You reneged on your promises although you had said you would always stay, but in the end, I was the helper not you I helped you find your way You took away my heartache, but you also brought me more than I can bare, now I am the hopeless one living in despair You played your beautiful hopeless music for me that I heard through your heart, and now I have no one to dance with now that we’re apart I want to come after you I want my revenge for the way that you hurt me, but I will continue hoping and dreaming that you’ll return to me You half way gave me what you promised that you would, but you didn’t finish what you started although I wished that you could So now the story is closing, and this is sadly goodbye, you can go ahead and take that bow now while I sit back and cry I called you the hopeless helper because that is what I perceive, you wanted to believe in hope and help restore me But in the end, I’m the hopeless one hanging on to these false dreams, and I’m the one that helped you crush my heart and rip it apart from the seams. This poem is from my book titled Fairytales of Broken Dreams available on Amazon and Kindle. My pen name is Amanda Carroll Kinzer
