Hope

Hope is a beautiful thing  
It helps us through the hardest times  
It helps to ease the pain  
 
It gives us life  
It brings the light  
It's what gives us the strength to survive  
 
But than you gave me hope...  
 
Hope is a terrible thing  
It can be crushed with just a few words  
There is no way to describe how badly hope being crushed hurts  
It's like a knife twisting inside of you  
the hope spills out with your blood  
You try to pull the knife out but the damage is already done  
 
You try so hard to hold on to your hope  
 with your blood covered hands  
You fall to you knees when you finally realize  
 you can't  
You let out a scream as the tears start to fall  
Because you know deep down  
this is the end of it all  
 
I used to think hope was a beautiful thing  
That was before my hope was crushed  
Now I realize it's a terrible thing  
 
So why would you give me some?  
 
You gave me hope  
So now I'm sitting here with my eyes closed  
bracing myself  
Waiting for the damage to be done  
 
Hope is a terrible thing  
So why did you just give me some?!  
 
Hope helps us through the hardest times  
It helps to ease the pain  
It gives us life  
It brings the light  
It's what gives us the strength to survive  
 
I'm holding on to the hope you gave me  
Please don't take it back  
I need it  
Because at this point  
 
That hope is all I have
