Hope
I knew the word forever
Just as rain knows how to fall
I knew of Hope
But mine was fading
Hope was something people made
You weren't born with it, and you are lucky to die with it
We tucked it away and his it under our long sleeves
For now, we know hope brings desperation
And desperation brings pain
But we are young and dumb
So we hope and pray
For a new day
Because we knew forever could be ours
I found forever so many times
I promised it was real
But I couldn't help but ask
Could forever…really be mine, I suppose I shouldn't have asked
Maybe if I had stayed silent or changed
Forever would have been mine
The day came when it was time for you to leave
I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry
Instead, I smiled and said goodbye
Rain poured down on my cold, lifeless body as blood ran like a river to my
feet
I held the blade to my heart as I remembered everything you promised me
One day, we would meet again, but would you remember me then?
