Never Past Hope
Night and day, day and night
One melds into the other
Time frozen and gone in an instant
Nothing changes, as everything's different
Constants disappear
Yet variables make clear one fact:
I'm without you.
 
Pain is motivation to hold us back
Life getting in the way of living
Distraction creating distraction endlessly
Losing sight of goals, wants, needs, emotions
Self-consumed and careless
Knowing only the jaded truth:
We hurt, therefore we are.
 
What is wasted, what is distorted
What we need, we have
Though we are left wanting
We lack courage, not caring
We miss faith, not love
Mistakes are our defense:
Hearts in armor.
 
A light touch, a brief smile
A warm song on the breeze
Voices intermingling
Bodies intertwined
Heat, fever, romance, passion
Gentle, sweet, feeling, kind:
These are everything.
 
Naive and foolish, I stand grown
Tempered with the past
Bright with hope of the future
Weeping with regret
Standing strong to carry on
I live without to have later:
I love you still.
