The Death of Hope

Hope
It never dies quietly
Never peacefully
It is torn away
Kicking and screaming
Painfully

Hope
Hidden in the deep recess
Of the heart
It is the last to leave
Never on it's own accord

Hope
When it leaves
Nothing can replace it
Emptiness

Hope
The roots run deep
Forever it seems

Hope
Whoever said it is always there, lied

Hope can die
