Poetry: Disappointment

by Cassandra Grace Scroggs

My chest feels heavier and heavier

As it rises and falls

The truth is out

It is undeniable

The inextricable pain

As disappointment remains




To hope above hope

That what you knew to be true in your heart

Is not true in that of another




Let him lie

Let him be

Let his sorry excuses flee

For there is nothing left now




But that which is dead inside




To let it go

Just get over it

Why not be at peace

If nothing else

But the pain remains




The scornful heart that mourns the waking day

That nothing's changed

It's still the same

For disappointment remains
