Expectations

Expected
 Something less
Maybe 
 Something gained

Expected 
 Nothing more
Nothing less
 Than a cowardly move
Made 
From a broken weakling

Hidden
 Tattered and broken
Masquerade
 Shattered and unspoken

Something 
 Taught me not to cry
Someone
 Caught me before the fall
Before I could die

Expected
 Someone to hold me
Maybe
 Something a little more

Expected
 Someone to love me
Someone to show me
 What
Love could be
