Hope

Faint light
devoured by its own smoke
lost in the robust laughs

Buds wilted
yearning for a breath.
Inflicted pain by its own roots.

Sealing every tear with a smile
assaulting love with lust

sun descends 
enveloped in eternal darkness

the window blindfolds
its journey

the cries 
resonate within 
unheard
and tears glitter 
in the dying light.

seasons come and go 
faces change
Alas! you 
never  revisited.
