I Hoped


I hoped that this pain would leave
But it won't.


I hoped that I could live this life
But I can't.


I hoped that the sun would shine
But it hasn't.


I hoped my shadows would release me
But they refuse.


I hoped that blood would stop raining
But I just keep stepping in puddles.


I hoped I could erase my past
But my memories wont let me.


I hoped that what you told me was true
But it was all a lie.


I hoped that you would stay around
But you didn't.
