Foreseeing The Future Poem by Leigh Ladd

I believe one day you will return,
Then again, hope is what I have lost.
I cannot believe
When there is no hope in my life.
You took that away when you saw our future,
Me as your wife.

I dream someday to feel your love,
Then again, sleep is something I do not trust.
I cannot sleep
When nightmares have replaced my dreams.
You took that away when you saw our future,
Me so much like you or so it seemed.

I pray tomorrow I will hear your voice,
Then again, I do not have a God.
I cannot pray
When there is no one to pray to.
You took that away when you saw our future,
Me wanting to know the real you.
