Hope has failed me


Hope has failed me

She gave me a dream

She gave me a goal

I could not control

so I poured out my soul

But my soul isn't whole, so it was just a hafe heart

So me and Hope just part

I failed Hope

She gave me a chance

But my dance wasn't clean enough

and my heart wasn't strong enough

We let them win

Hope and I gave in

and ate their hurtful sins

I broke Hope's heart

I pardoned her means and pressed off the light beams

That depicted are dreams and reliquished the seams

We were really and awful team

Hope has failed me and I failed Hope

and we are both broke
