Admist Hope and Dismay

Every night tells a tale,
About how the stars shine,
I gaze up at the world above me, in deep wonder, asking myself, what is this life I call mine.

Where I thought I found happiness,
Only despair was found,
I always thought that we’d be together forever, our souls bound.

If only I had courage to tell you the little differences we share,
We’d still have a hope,
I’d know that you’d still care.

You seem so close but you are so far away,
Without your hand to hold,
I can’t seem to fight another day.

It seems as though I’m alone again,
Companionship is but a dream,
I thought I found it within you, but I seem to have lost it behind this pain.

I can’t help but wonder, is it me that had done wrong?
A dream that had come true,
Now suddenly gone.

I can’t hide the shame,
I never thought it would be like this,
In the moment of futile dreaming, I am the one to blame.

Can you not see?
We have no future,
We keep on falling, you and me.

It seems we both live in fear,
I grow weary of struggling,
We cast hollow tears.

Amidst it all, I do love you
I hope in all you understand,
And say, “I love you too.”

Perhaps in time we will reach the stars together,
Through the hurt I hope we see it through,
I hope we can share the pain, the hope, hand in hand, now and forever.
