Hope =/= Despair


I haven't cried in a long long time,
But I did so last night.

It caught me by surprise as well,
I didn't expect to succumb to my emotions this easily.

I thought that I had mastered my heart,
It turns out not to be the case.

It hurt much deeper than I had expected,
Perhaps it was due to too much hope?

But somewhere deep down inside my heart,
I had already given up a long time ago.

I was just being too stubborn I suppose,
Holding on when I should have let go.

But even after everything is said and done,
This is just part and parcel of life.

A long time ago I learnt that:
Despair can only be achieved after consistent and prolonged disappointment.

I reckon that I should just move on,
It's funny how that has been happening to me a lot recently.

This isn't a poem by the way,
I'll just end off with a quote by Vincent Valentine.

Too much hope is the opposite of despair... an overpowering love may consume you in the end.
