Hope a word that inspires many

Gives them something

To look forward to

A word that keeps eyes glistening

And heads high

But hope can be lost

And when lost

It isn't so easily found

Everything comes to an end

Things won't go as planned

But hope will still be there

Though that friend is long gone

At least for me

Though I find myself

Clinging to a false hope

Not able to bare the truth

For now the sun has set

And the moon has fallen

Leaving me shrouded in darkness

Pitch black as far as the eye can see

Not the slightest hint of light

It's a lonely and painful place

Not knowing where you're going

Or even what direction you're heading

Fumbling around like a fool

Deadly things come to fools

Who have lost their way

You cannot tell where you are stepping

You take a step forward

And nothing is there

Down you go falling off a cliff

Darkness seeming to laugh

At you in the distance

But what can you do but cry

And shut your eyes

Though the darkness

Claimed your sight so long ago
