High Hopes...

Roles reverse,
Time's curse,
the end of something bad
the beginning of something worse

i stare into the darkness
it stares right back at me
you don't live on hope, do you?
atleast you don't look that weak
where have i brought myself to?
i have no idea, i have no clue
a land stranger
i sense more danger
not a word, not a sound
i hear my heels hit the ground
i fall on my knees scream and cry
oh how much i miss that purple sky...

roles reverse,times curse
the end of something bad
the beginning of something worse

no more does my hair prick my face
i have numbed myself to life
in search of a golden trace
in more blackness i have arrived
i wipe my tears with my dress
try to get out of this mess
enveloped in vacuum i fight for air
i fight till i fall down, my last moments of despair
i lie down gasping the beating heart all ripped
i think and i think of the life i have lived
how i wish i hadn't ever tried to try
oh how much i miss that purple sky...

roles reverse,times curse
the end of something bad
the beginning of something worse..

Hey ! I wonder... Not being able to solve a few Math sums - A reason as simple as this, can trigger the writing of such a wonderful piece of poetry. Good work. :-)
