HOPELESS HOPE

Ever wanted something so badly and then it caused you so much pain?

Trudging on tirelessly weary, seeking succour from the hopelessness you feel within. You look up to the sky and all you see is...
 
Moonless sky in a darkened night
A hapless heart hopefully hoping
Against a hopeless hope
For a little glimmer even from a Firefly
To light the path for a blackened soul
Alas! A flicker from a burning touch
All hope’s raised and the blackened soul reached
Through darkened night breached
Hapless heart pound as tired feet quickened
In hope renewed
Then comes the gusty gale
Fierce and merciless as well
Casting the soul into the deep abyss
Wrenching joy from the hapless heart
Plunging the night again
Deep into an unseeing blackness
This surely is a hopeless hope
