Never

Never
Is the harshest word
In my dictionary.
Never use it…

Why not say Tomorrow–
It gives me Hope.
Or try, Sometimes, and
I’ll assume It’s possible.

Tell me Maybe,
I think It’ll happen.
Let’s see assures me
It’s not over.

You say Probably,
I hear Fifty-Fifty.
It May or May not.
I like to go with May.

When it’s Au revoir
I hear only the promise
Till we meet again–
It’s Not a Goodbye.

Even in Unlikely
I sense an Optimism
I tell myself I will wait
It might be, Some Day.

But, Never…
That’s another thing.
Never is the door, shut
On my face.

Never is the brick wall
I can’t bring down.
Never shoves a knife
Right into the heart.

Don’t say Never
Even if you mean it.
