Hope Hurts

[AstralCrux]

Hope hurts sometimes,

when you know what you want;

when no one understands

how you feel;

when you see the potential

in eyes and smiles.

But, when the look

fades

and the smile dies

hope lingers.

Hope hurts sometimes.

When the world smiled

for just a while.

The seraphim sings

sweeter tunes

for a while.

But, the glow fades.

Mourning songs.

Hope lingers.

Hope hurts sometimes.

Do you give up;

go on with your life,

forget hope?

Forget shared dreams?

Forget what was?

Or will hope

still linger?

Hope hurts sometimes.

I know that feeling well.

Very well said.
