_Hope_

It's a disaster I can’t walk away from, Our love that is. A once beautiful creature Now beaten and broken Lurking deep in our shadows, Trying to hide its deformities and ugliness. People scorn the poor beast Hurl insults and rocks, Love is battered Love is abused Love is hated. But love is not lost, I know, For when I see you This recluse monster stirs, And through its blistered eyes I see hope.
