Hope

A quiet spark in my chaotic mind

A delicate flower in a decaying heart

It grew with every "hello,"

Every hug,

Every "I promise."

It threatened to leave with every "Bye,"

Every invisisible kick,

Slowly dying with every heartbreak,

Losing heat,

Losing light.

But it stayed,

I held on with my last strength,

Let it grow again,

Now it fuels a fire,

It's my saviour,

My reason not to fall,

Drown in sorrows,

Drown in fears,

It's all my heart hears.
