please believe in love,
but have the respect to not
speak of it lightly

maybe I just need
someone who can lie to me
more convincingly

where hope’s fallen through
are some of the best reasons
for starting anew.

I am not the me,
not the me you thought I’d be,
not the one to set you free
and not the one you once believed
would stem the tides of seas.

I am more than me,
not the one you had foreseen,
but just like you I had a dream –
a delicate contingency –
depending on a “we.”

mourning is for those
who wholeheartedly believe
there is no reprise.

morning is the time
hopeful souls rely upon
just before the dawn.
