How

How does one cope with this feeling??
With this knowledge of loneliness,
With the feeling of hopelessness
But with dreams of tenderness
How does one deal with the loss
Associated with regret
And despair
And the knowledge
That in one brief moment
All can be won or lost
How does one come to terms
With the idea that misery
Is the consequence of one's own volition
And with the final admission
That happiness is fleeting
And that each casual meeting
Of a person on the streets
Maybe you only chance to meet
That one person who will
Turn your life around
Throw you down
And leave you on the ground
Broken and beaten
Where only your wounds are deepened
How does one cope with this feeling??
