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.
