Hope

Hope
I don't want to shine any light into the future,
I prefer to grope
hope us pain
constantly driving you insane
the dreams you have and the expectations
always fail you and leave a void
hope causes limitation
enduring today in hope that tomorrow would be better
when you can die today and kill hope
it never gets better
never
just causes more and more pain
and ache
so I've stopped hoping
but have a space in my heart
a keepsake
I live each day as it comes
no hope
no disappointment
only surprises
hope has dealt me one too many blows
hope has burned a fire in me and left the ashes
I'm tired of hoping
I'll just have more bruises on my heart
fate will be fate
and hope, I hate
treacherous illusion.
