Disappointment
The store lines you've chosen
have stretched-out to be long.
Cross-word puzzles you've solved
yet found the answers wrong.
Intensely you've listened
the singer never sang.
Near your phone you've waited
although it never rang.
Comic-relief you've sought
yet fell into despair.
Your mailbox you've checked
discovered nothing there.
The status you've achieved
reduced to lower rank.
Vessels to sail you've built
in waters placed soon sank.
For peaceful times you've prayed
but there was only war.
All the love you've given
some seem to just ignore.
