The Hopeless

The hopeless romantic
ends up alone.
Isn't it a shame?
So much love to give.
Each day a guessing game.

The hopeless romantic left
out in the cold.
Lying alone in her self pity.
Where did it go wrong?
Lost in this filthy city.

The hopeless romantic is
just hopeless.
Living life as a dream.
Making more of nothing.
Always swimming upstream.

The hopeless romantic is
tired.
She needs more but is getting older.
With each day that passes by, she settles.
Her heart grows colder.
