Time Lost

When hope is lost, what is left?
Forgotten memories of dreams left undone
Gratification in life without meaning

When hope is lost, what is left?
A shell without tomorrow
Another day the same as the day before

When hope is lost, what is left?
Contentment with the same
Withdrawal into the known

When hope is lost, what is left?
Missing words to questions
Pretense for their sakes

When hope is lost, what is left?
Belief merely in the history of years gone by
Trapped in a fog of recollections

When hope is lost, what is left?
A fragile soul
Cracked and bleeding for eyes unseen

When hope is lost, what is left?
The long wait
An inevitable end.
