Hope

Candlelight makes the room glow Glowing embers of light, That brightens the world A million candles float above me in the air Drifting as lilies, On a beautiful, reticent pond That holds secrets We will never know But secrets always have a dark twist, And this beautiful magic is no different In a blink of an eye The lights go out And I’m left wandering in a world of dark I reach out to the walls, And sharp thorns Cut up my hands Bind me to the wall So I can’t breathe But no matter where I look, You’re nowhere to be found The shadows laugh at my struggles, The fear in my heart And the pain The blood that trickles down my body But no matter how I struggle, No matter how far I search for you You never come And I’m left without hope
