The Curse of the Hopeless

You hold someone down, do what they don't ask, fulfill their wildest dream, to not feel reciprocated, to feel you are being used, while your needs drift down stream. You endure the pain; you accept your fate every time, ignoring every warning, hoping this one is the last rhymes. We do this always; we do this cause we are the ones that can handle the pain. We are the ones that are chosen to carry others through the rain.  "I'm never gonna love again" "I'm done trying to be happy", things we have all said, things that have made us all scrappy.  Your emotions run so deep, your emotions are on the edge of your sleeve, not everyone can handle this way, most people will run, most people will leave. Butt, don't be tearful, don't be sad. You will always find love, no matter how horrible you've had. Just remember people come into your life as blessings or lessons. Don't hold grudges life is too short, forgive easily and live free of obsessions. Some people will come into your life to disturb it and cause chaos. The right people will bring you peace without making you feel like a boss.  My thoughts float to the Emperor penguin, showcased in "Happy Feet" finding their song partners. When you hear the right song, you won't have to question intentions. They make you feel safer and more hopeful as kindergartners. As much as you think being hopelessly romantic is a curse, one day you find the one, you will find the one that will hold you tighter than a compact out of a prostitute’s purse...  No, no, no, that's too dark. Let me try another spark. As much as you think being a hopeless romantic is a curse, you will soon find the one that will hold you tighter than a casket being held by a hearse... Wow, dude, could you be any darker? You couldn't be any more darkening with a permanent marker. As much as you think being a hopeless romantic is a curse, you will soon find the one that will hold you tighter than an arm being poked by a nurse.  M'kay, m'kay that's the one that sounds the best, that's the one that will show I'm not a mess.
