The Hardest Four Letter Words to Pronounce

I do not like
Deal well
Over all take
Disappointment well……..
Heart crushing soul etching
Deflatation
Of dreaming aspiration
Or even just the simple hope
A whispered promise carries
Are for me
Stagnant actions
Nouns
Verbally expressed with intent
Of disappointment

Tell me
Promise me
Say it in loving tunes
Sing it with declarative tones
I’ve learned to let it roll off my ears
Not letting it settle into my heart
And dare should I ever ask
For help
Twice
Then I would be in dire need
To learn my lesson
Again
