Anna Kamieńska

Powiedz mi jaka jest różnica
między nadzieją, a oczekiwaniem
bo moje serce tego nie rozumie
Ciągle się rani o szkło oczekiwania
ciągle się gubi we mgle nadziei...

I just read this the other day. Wonderful.

I know that feeling.

[irish_horse]

but the rain/Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh/Upon the glass and listen for reply

...And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads who not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a sigh...

[bubblingbeebles]

a perennially difficult question. i love the way she frames it.
