I 'hope' to never have you back.
Dear Hope,
Been a long time since I had you.
Remember me?
I was one of your buyers, one of your million victims
I still see the darkness I saw
When you tied a blindfold on my eyes
Engrossed me in your sweet lies
It made me forget the bitter truths
I knew I was smiling to compensate for my tears
And people wondered how I was so happy
I knew you were a devil in an angel's disguise
But I got so distracted by that shiny robe of yours
I forgot that it was the shine of my twinkling tears
And I kept wanting you, craving you
I thought at least with sham solace, my ripped heart
You'll sew
But you just covered it up with imaginary stitches that are pricking me now,
Bursting my every bubble of my happiness
All this happened
And I had not a single clue
You convinced me that those were happy tears
And you were feeding my soul with fake consolations
Alas, you dried when I died.
And still,
Your followers- "people",
Convince me to have you back.

'Hope.'
We could never imagine how such a wonderful thing could hurt SO much. Perhaps everything seems wonderful until time passes.
