Hope

Hope is a four letter word

Expectation derived from dreams

With no future

No reality

Expecting the best

Fearing the worst

Hope

Seeing the world through

Rose colored glasses

Always waiting

Always expecting

And slowly, irrevocably,

Hope retreats to a place

We cannot reach

Hope

Full of promise

Empty of fact

Carrying us to lofty heights

Only to abandon us

Again and again

Until one day

There is no Hope
