Expectations
I cry until my eyes run dry
 But still my heart sobs.
 
 Death
 It is the end of life
 The harbor of sadness
 A pool of tears.
 
 Black with despair
 Tinted with little light.
 
 For every death there is a new life
 A new dream
 A new expanse.
 
 Life has a cycle
 Though not preferable
 Unbreakable rules.
 
 With every tear drop there is a baby’s laugh
 With every end there is a beginning.
 
 For all the happiness in the world
 There is many times more sadness.
 
 Nothing is perfect
 But our hope remains lit until the end,
 Kindled at birth
 Snuffed at death.
 
 Expectations are set high
 But why bet on something impossible
 For you are sure to lose.
 
 With loss comes despair
 With sadness comes a tear.
