Hopeless

While hopelessness is not permanent. 

I will always lament. 

Those days I thought I could never be forgiven. 

My innocence was my devastation. 

As I was unknowing, that instead of rising above an illness. 

I was simply giving up togetherness. 

I didn’t even realize that I was expressionless. 

And that the attempts to help me were not threats. 

Just like the sun was not trying to threaten me with more daylight. 

I would rather face the wrath of a senseless night!
