lost hope

Thinking of a past while looking forward ahead
What it was, what it means, what has been said
A long road of reflection the ins and outs of pain
Pieces are put together just to fall out once again
Where my tears not good enough
did my pain not feed u enough
did the screams not release your hatred
did your fake sentiment fix the wounds you gave me
The day he turned
The day he left me
Was the day I realized
What the world really was
The day he left
Was the day I lost some of my hope
Your eyes used to shine with the stars,
Like constellations in the night.
Now they flicker with uncertainty,
Dimness…
Like a firefly slowly dying,
Losing its spark.
What used to be, isn’t.
on the outside looking in.
no sense of beginnings.
failing is constant.
looking up blind.
system cave in.
promise of forgiveness.
fate of distance.
fade to reality.
Sunlight shines through flowing drapes
spreading alabaster swords in all directions.
They stab at flooring and my semi-paralyzed body,
seeking to fill holes as if pain
i shivered, cowering
you focused, tactlessly
i followed, aimlessly
a blindness, unconscious
of empty sentiments
i wouldn’t understand
