Hoping 4 Hope
Hope itself
Comes in a multitude of different ways
The kind or form that kills
The kind of hope
That won't pay the bills
That will not win you the lottery
Or save the world
Stop a loved one leaving
Loving you back or dying
The other kind of hope
Is that you tell others about
In order to give them hope
When all hope is gone
And you no longer believe in hope at all
And you hope they won't find out
Hopefully whilst you are still in sight
Left hoping you didn't
Didn't give them or provide them hope
When they eventually discover and realize
Hope sadly in reality
Is both cruel and desperately unfair
Only ends up being turned from hope
Into hopeless
