Andrew Crisci Poet Lyric

In Search Of Hope

This man is too hurt to move on and forget,
he holds onto pain, not letting it escape 
from his clutched hands stained with guilt; 
that's something safe in his grip.
This man will go on in search of hope,
destroying his past, trying to cope.

Are there bitter regrets and roses with thorns
whenever a flashback sends him back?
He'd rather grieve than remember words
his sweetheart said to make him feel a wrack;
she hid a secret from him, he often wondered
if she was committed to another guy who cared.   
A lot of hurt shows up in intense emotions,
a lot of hurt controls a person's moods.

This man will go on in search of hope,
he will walk on the longest and thinnest rope 
to find a kind soul that understands his need, 
someone who reaches out, sharing love without greed;
will he forgive who hurt him and return to smile,
spotting a big rainbow dazzling with morning sunshine? 

He can forgive others, not himself,
it sounds strange to express grief;
disappointment keeps him at bay,
a careless child in foolish play.
Oh, regardless all, he's in search of hope;
he climbs up avoiding a sliding slope.
