Loss of Hope

Loss of Hope

goodbye tomorrow

so long today

I thought about you

yesterday

when there was hope

today seemed bright

It must have dimmed

with sleep last night

and now today

I watch you go

thinking only

tomorrow

I chase what's left

and grasp at you

hoping that

you'll pull me through

but my fingertips

feel only air

I reach out

and you're not there

i'm all alone

just drifting on

waiting for

the light of dawn

dawn never comes

the sun won't rise

all is dark

before my eyes

I claw, I scratch

I scream and fight

buried deep

far from light
