The hopes, they shouldn’t have heightened,
The dreams, they shouldn’t have dreamt,
The wishes, they shouldn’t have spoken aloud,
The desires, they should have been kept.
The hopes, they were shattered with one word,
The dreams, they were slashed with response,
The wishes, they were halted with invisible hands,
The desires, they were wretched from the heart.
The hopes, they are no longer lofty,
The dreams, they are no longer glimpsed,
The wishes, they are no longer granted within,
The desires, they are no longer bet.
The hopes, they will once more extend,
The dreams, they will once more emerge,
The wishes, they will once more form upon the lips,
The desires, they will some day be met.
