i hate hope

[stacybacie]

I hate hope,
At first it seems optimistic,
Brightening my day, as though it were the sun,
I feel the warmth over my skin
In my heart,
But then it burns.
All comfort leaves,
And I squirm,
Turning away
From the thing I once clung to
So closely that day.

I see now that hope
Is merely a scheme
A plot deceiving me
Building up a hopeless dream.

And yet, I look at you,
And I hope.

so i'd pay good money to re-do this past month. who wants to chip in?
