My heart is steel;
I cannot love you
the way you wish
to be loved.
My heart cannot flutter
as though it would die
at the sight of you
or when it hears you.
It cannot die
for it lives!
It cannot shake
for it is still.
My heart is steel…
Though you ask
I won”t go,
I’d never leave.
Though you try
to make me cry
or though you try
to say goodbye…
Nothing would change,
I can’t erase
the mem’ry of your face.
My heart is steel.
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
