I’m losing hope, it’s slipping fast, A flame once bright that couldn’t last. Each day I watch it fade away, No matter how I beg it to stay. I held it close, I held it tight, But now it dims, consumed by night. The promises it used to bring Now feel like lies I can’t believe. I’ve searched for light, but found the dark, The weight of emptiness leaves its mark. Is there a point in trying still, When hope is hollow, lost at will?
