Hope internal is
Hope denied
Hope unsaid is
Hope aside
***
Hope-you-get is
Hope as yet
Hope-you-don't is
Hope beset
***
Hope is circular rapidity
A promise ring so fine
A prayer for serendipity
Strangles a finger at a time

Hope is just us lying to ourselves, lol! Hoping and getting disappointed is way worse than not hoping at all. At least that's how I see it. I loved your poem!
Ooh that line. Great poem.
Guess it was the final curse that came out of Pandora's box!
Great poem! Hope is great!
