True Love Is Hard To Find Nowadays

I learned to truly walk the difficult route

I’m oh so hurt because I’m heartbroken 

Hope you're well because I’m not no doubt

It’s hard to trust people again and again



I yearn, I wish 

Away the agonizing anguish

I yearn, I wish

For faith that isn’t very fishy 

I wish 

For the love I can’t have…

I languish 

And yet, you don’t care and laugh?

Wow, so long then, love

I will find new love from above



True love can erase all sins from my life

I have bore these cancerous sins and strife

Cut it all out with positivity's jagged knife

Put your lips against my own, my future wife



I yearn, I wish 

Away the agonizing anguish

I yearn, I wish

For faith that isn’t very fishy 

I wish 

For the love I can’t have…

I languish 

And yet, you don’t care and laugh?

Wow, so long then, love

I already forgot what I thought of



I yearn for the love that I can’t have and can’t hoard

I wish for the love that I can’t afford and I’m bored

But, I can love you, lovely friend of mine

I don’t hate you because you are so fine



I yearn, I wish 

Away the agonizing anguish

I yearn, I wish

For faith that isn’t very fishy 

I wish 

For the love I can’t have…

I languish 

And yet, you don’t care and laugh?

Wow, so long then, love

I will find new love from above



I yearn, I wish 

Away the agonizing anguish

I yearn, I wish

For love that isn’t very shady

Oh so true, yet with poetry as good as this is, such vibrant honesty, and a joy to read, i think the answers to the title are all there within the poem, but i agree with one aspect, Trust is so hard to find,
