Heartaches

a grown man sits lost in tears of deceit,
a scared woman once again stands to her feet,
the child longing for love of any kind,
now seeing true love is so hard to find,

hearts sedated but hopes of -not this time,
dreams shattered for leaving is not a crime,
how do you say "sorry "when it should read -I told you,
was it worth the leap when inside you knew.
