Hope and dreams
have come and pass.
Their footsteps
have left
imprint on my mind.
Yet where have they gone?
All the yearning
had given me strength
yet there were none
to hold at the moment.
They've left prints
without direction.
The elated state
I once relished
have become
a deflated heart,
sinking below
the rivers that once run
on hopes and dreams.
Tears hang on my eyes
yet they do not fall
even as my heart
break in pieces,
causing shattered sounds
within my silenced soul.
Where had my
dreams and hopes gone?
The joy entailing them
have left me
and there is darkness
in this once
lit soul.
Coldness embrace me
while I desire to
feel the same
joy and elation
I once had
when my
dreams and hopes
remained beside me.
