i want peace, want to know i did the right thing,
so howcome the answer evades me, even in dream?
try as i might i still can't seem to shake the feeling
so i remember: feelings aren't always what they seem
why does it still haunt me? i've moved on!
can't my heart and my brain ever agree??
i keep wondering what might have been,
and it's like part of me still refuses to see.
things never work out the way they were planned,
the world is much more complicated than we want
now the days slip away from us, never quite bland,
the bittersweet memories kill like a knife that's blunt
why do i keep on loving when all love should be gone?
what drives me to hope when i know what will never be?
i pray my heart's desire dies before more evil can spawn
i never had a chance to find out what it was i couldn't see

let's see I learned a new word today--
it is perfervid..ardent or impassioned,,,,
change either our past or our future.
As for that tiny voice of doubt, you begin to discipline your mind, educate it and tell it that if it must keep hoping it has to be realistic. When you think what if; explore all avenues of outcome, good and bad. You may find that your present is acceptable and
build on it from there.
I'm not sure if this is the kind of feedback you wanted, but I don't remember a lot of my
poetry study, so I don't know if your structure and rhythm are OK or not.
Good poem.
