Hope



here I am

all alone

lost again

in my own sorrows



a pattern repeating itself



at first hope

finding someone to trust

to soothe the fear

to take the pain away



then worry

will you stay?

listen?

understand?



at last certainty

you're gone

and everything with you

only emptiness remains



no need to ask why

I already know

it is me

it always is



but not this time

he is there

different than you



he stays

listens

understands



and with him

there is something else



tiny

fragile

almost faded by now

but inside me

there is hope
