I Can't Love You

You can read disappointment in her face,
It weighs heavy on her brow,
Pulls down the lips that are meant to smile,
Sadness dulls her eyes, removing the stars.
On edge and starting at the smallest noise,
Hope flares across her countenance,
But then her heart sinks a little further down,
Because hoping has always left her with nothing.
