Hope

Hope is like light –

You see it

You want it

But – when you get it –

It offers nothing

It gives you nothing

Just sight

To see

Your pain

Hope

Is like love –

You feel like

You need it

But – if you get it –

You see it, just a

Trick of the

Mind

And you wonder

Why

You asked for it

Why did you ask for torture?
