Hoping 4 Hope

Hope itself Comes in a multitude of different ways The kind or form that kills The kind of hope That won't pay the bills That will not win you the lottery Or save the world Stop a loved one leaving Loving you back or dying The other kind of hope Is that you tell others about In order to give them hope When all hope is gone And you no longer believe in hope at all And you hope they won't find out Hopefully whilst you are still in sight Left hoping you didn't Didn't give them or provide them hope When they eventually discover and realize Hope sadly in reality Is both cruel and desperately unfair Only ends up being turned from hope Into hopeless
