Hope

I always try, to speak my mind.
But so afraid to leap, I resort to creep.

Down at your tears I gaze, like an unending crystal maze.
Walls I continue to grope, searching for that elusive hope.

I don't know why, why I always try.
Wanting what's best for you, yet failing without a clue.

My heart does yearn, for that smile to earn.
To be found is naught, I fear it's lost.

Why love is hard, I hate to ask.
Should I give up, will I pass?
Or hold tight, for that which I fight.

Streams of questions flood my mind, but never can I find.
Overcome by fear, I crawl painfully near.

The candles dwindle low, their waxy casing slumps.
Like my longing heart, it no longer pumps.

I yearn to cry, but my tears are dry.
Emotionless and empty, my soul never lets me.

I've changed for the worse, yet my hope somehow works.
It's all I can try, as I plead to the sky.




God may you help me, MY knowledge is empty…
