Hope is Gone ..

a friend has asked me to write about hope ..
how to live on with sadness, and how to cope ..
and i tried to write, i tried to rhyme ..
but ended up with silence and an act of a mime ..
i tried to make up things,
the flapping white wings, the bright bright springs ..
but then i remembered the achings
and the moarns ..
the freakin tears
the painful thorns ..
oh my friend i wish i could help you ..
and say everything is going to be fine,
lie to your face and ignore the sign ..
of misery and distress,
a freakin puzzled mess ..
oh my friend .. its so hard to hope for
a better life when ur body is all sore ..
demented visions and evil thoughts ..
a bunch of nerves tied around in knots ..
a spark of white ..
a glimpse of light ..
a lie in the end ..
left with wounds hard to mend ..
oh my friend .. i wish i could help ..
oh my friend .. i wont lie to you ..
remove the lens .. of reds and blue ..
its a grey grey world you see ..
we are just the worms digging in the roots of the tree ..
with leaves of razors
and branches of flames ..
slicing your body, it loves you - it claims ..
aaaah .. yes .. it smells so close ..
a dying petal, a depleting rose ..
a shivering feeling only the sad knows ..
a touch to the cheek,
a tap on the back ..
but it was a push, that made me lose my track ..
a stick of wax laying on the ground ..
something to light my way, something i found ..
carved on the side ..
letters so wide ..
hope is gone ..
and your left alone ..
let hope guide you through the darkness ..
the candle will eventually melt ..
the wax aching at the end ..
and its just pain and lonesome my friend ..
im sorry ..
but hope is gone ..
