Great Expectations. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

Great Expectations.

Rating: 5.0


Great Expectations is all we had.
Expecting and dreaming our life away.
But nothing ever happened the way that we wanted it too.
Everything changed with one big sway.

You lived in a house abandoned by love.
Locked day in, day out in a decaying room.
You never saw daylight or the stars above.
Your world was full of doom and gloom.

Then one day a boy came to see you.
A smart Little chap called Pip.
Your days became lighter and cheerful.
Even the taste of your tea that you sip.

But you had an evil plan.
One that did more harm than good.
You were mistreated one time
And it left you with a revengeful mood.

You wanted this sweet boy to feel
What you felt,
When you were left at the altar.
You wanted him to feel your misery
for him to breakdown and falter.

But he was not to blame for your heartbreak,
And finally you realised what you had done.
But in the end the Great Expectations
were heaven sent and could not be undone.

Verse: Sandra Kavanagh (c) .
