No Greater Pain

Hope is a collage of fragmented thoughts
that fan the embers of today,
scattered amidst yesterday's ashes.
Stoking the sputtering flames of tomorrow
egos and monsters parade brazenly
amongst thoughts of love,
demanding your attention.
Betrayal is a bitter pill to swallow,
and yet, you try washing it down with tears.
For broken hearts oft draw painful emotions
from the wounds of memory,
like a poultice.
And so, you don one of your many masks
stored upon life's shelf,
and smile as your world falls apart.
But as the dagger of rejection pieces your heart,
there can be no greater pain.
For you have failed to find
what you've been looking for all your life,
an eternal soulmate to complete
the missing half of your soul.
