I'll believe, in you (Hope)

I feel as though when you leave a part of me will cease to be

As though a petal, falls from what once was a rose

I won't cry tears for you

I'll cry memories.

I'll believe in a story, a fantasy I conjured up in my head

of perfect love and harmony; a romance

A novel I may write, someday or somehow

I won't tell a soul how I feel

I'll love you forever, lost anyway

I'll learn theory, practise and hide in more books

upon your return I don't know who you'll be

I'll still remain here, in study and in pain

All moral, ethical behaviour we sought to blame

It's such a shame, that we couldn't continue

I'll turn elitist, for awhile as always happens

Become better than I once was, because of you

I'll lie awake in bed at night, stare at the ceiling bugs

and hope.

Hope is a cauldron I cannot stir

a lying being I cannot swindle

sing though, I must for my voice

is all I have and once had

was you, for hope is what brought me

together.
