Hope
I don't know why
I keep searching for the reason,
but I think I'll try my life for one more season.
I don't want to die,
not yet for any reason,
but I hope you'll buy
these sappy things I'm saying now.
I don't usually cry
at weddings and/or funerals.
I prefer it dry
in cities even rural.
When my mother died,
I've done things out of season.
I haven't even said goodbye.
I'm hoping she can hear me now.
But as time goes by,
Life plays the same old keys,
you bet I'll try
not to sing off key.
I still don't want to die,
so don't give me your reasons.
Hope is the biggest lie, (but it is the best)
So come on, Hope, lie to me now.

Re. Hope
Totally impressed with the the rhyme scheme that matches up beyond each paragraph. A reminder of the connection between joy and pain.

Love every line and every ink stroke as your feelings flowed from the heart straight onto the page. There is lots of truth and meaning at every angle of this poem and your ending sums it all you're saying so perfectly beautiful!!

I'm quite a newbie here, Pleez do write your thoughts under my newest poem too, I've been interacting with poets for ages, I like doing it to show the positives of others poems.
