And when you've lost hope
You know it is all pointless
Because nothing matters now
Yet,
A light flickers on
Casting mocking shadows
Leaving you unsure.
What exactly does life want?
Why dangle such ideas in front of your tired eyes?
It all happened in another life
So why can't you get over it?
Take a step away,
Move on with your life
And smile...
Why the overthinking then?
Where you can't help but wonder
Is this all a sign perhaps?
Like lightening and thunder?
Constant hints of care and love
The flame filling you with warmth
But just as subtle and sweet
To never lead you on.
So is it all a hoax
Cooked up in your mind
Because your heart would not believe
There's nothing in between the lines?
So you play the fool
To console your heart
And convince yourself
To play the part.
You yearn for that comfort
You aren't even sure you will get,
Thirsty for the love
You think he's reserved for someone else.
So then;
Why the hope,
The fluttering of the heart?
Why the pain, of a broken heart?
You know it is never to be
This is not a love story,
Yet you want to believe
That things are different
And just maybe...
For how long can you do this though?
Hours, days, weeks?
Because you're breaking from within
Don't you see?
Let it go
Finally
You're almost free,
And just when you've lost hope
A light flickers on...
