Lost Hope

Lost in thought, deep in despair
 Knowing loneliness has no bound
 Eager to speak, quick to share
 Ready to fool and to confound
 
Time moves memory remains still
 Thoughts linger of what could be
 Pain of lost hope does not heal
 Nor can any faith part the sea
 
Love gives hope a new resting place
Questions of what will come to pass 
Reason fights looking for any trace
Longing grows like the blades of grass
 
In the darkest hour, filled with solitude
 Where can one be found in the multitude

This was one of my first poems. Actually any sonnets I post are some of my first poems. I tried to use the sonnet to give myself some form, so that I could practice rhyme, but soon left for open or free verse.

Ok not any sonnets. I still haven't been able to stray away or stay away from the form
