Hope is Gone

Folder: 
My Broken Heart
Once I knew how it was to be loved;
I knew the gentle kiss of man.
 
But he abused my innocence,
treated me well
only to abandon me.
 
Now I’m so jaded,
so untrusting,
so discouraged.
 
Hope is gone.
Love is nothing but an illusion.
 
These winter nights are so lonely,
but I can’t believe
I’ll know summer again.
