Poemas 52

Hope?

I’ll be all shattered and bruised

Once you’re done with me.

But for now I seem to forget

All the pain you will cause me

Because I can create perfect

Images of us together in disguise.

Is it hope? Could it be?

Is it hope? Such strange feeling

Is it hope? Expectation of faith

Is it hope? Or deceit?

Now you are the addiction

That overwhelms the senses

Challenging the probabilities.

Rising above the horizon.

Is it hope? How to see?

Is it hope? Fallen dream

Is it hope? Truth concealed

Is it hope? Not for me.

I’ll be all shattered and bruised

Once you’re done with me.
