Hoping

Sitting alone on a park bench

She absentmindedly feeds bread

To the birds on the ground

Crowding around her feet

 

She is wondering why she

Is sitting here all alone

When she should be

With somebody

 

Wondering what it is

That keeps her from

Finally finding the

Love of her life

 

Remembering the time

She had so high hopes

Only to see opportunities

Fade away

 

To be abandoned to

A life of loneliness

Sitting on park benches

Feeding the birds

 

They say hope never dies

But they don’t tell you

How hard it is to live

With nothing but hope
