Hope

Larger than life you were
Telling eyes
A laugh that could heartily fill a room
And though I despised you, you had your moments
When you were genuine and kind
Time passed
Years even
And now you are only a shell of what you were
You are tired
A darknesss, an aura of sadness clouds your once happy face
Drained of hope
I want to shake you awake
Convince you it's not over
Life is waiting for you
Hope is waiting for you
Just reach out and grab it
Anchor yourself in hope
Hold on
