Hope fans fallow flames—
Desolate promises prevail.
Unspoken desires decay;
Wishes wash away and erode
Dreams into ashen abyss.
Time cannot heal
Nor experience reveal
The dissolution of disappointments
Predetermined by providence.

The idea that "time heals all" doesnt always hold true,,,,
well done
Michelle

I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike

i love your use of alliteration!

turning mirrors upside down won't make dust fall off the ground, hiding wounds won't ease the pain, sleep won't make you whole again...

jaicie, you are far too kind with your compliments

passing shadows, thanks for taking time to read this one.  I am usually expected to be the one who is eternally optimistic, but I needed the blue time on this one.

Michelle… thanks for letting me vent some realism

iliana, don’t know about the pro designation, but I thank you humbly

chrissydome, awesome alliteration is always appreciated as awful alliteration ought to be avoided
