Lost Hope

Maybe when we give up on hope we give up on life.....

In the cold light of day your face is illuminated
but nothing remains.
Your smile fades to grey
your eyes dark and passionless
with nothing behind the vision.
You lost who you were, who you could be now
and the you that I once loved.
You gave up the ghost,
you became the ghost
and I mourn what died in you.
