Too Much Hope





I sit and stare as if I am going somewhere

I hope and I pray for a better day

It’s fresh in my mind, the love I did find

Feeling sad is my state of mind, being happy is a daily grind

Taking my new trail, well that’s just travail

Seeking new ways without changing, just doing some rearranging

Wondering what I will see, when I see, the inner being inside of me

Always felt your presence near, never this feeling, this feeling of fear

Asking myself all those questions, should have listened to your suggestions

Love has no reservation, as it looks for a lifelong celebration

Taking down the stairs you created, with the feeling that life has faded

Your friends tell you to believe to think positive; I dry my tears and want to live

Something is missing from my presence, replaced with emptiness of your essence

I want to take a deep breath, let the suppressed love out; I just don’t feel that stout

Hoping for it all to end, a new place for my love to send

How much hope am I suppose to have, should it be a cast, or just a suave

All the answers I am told I will find, I think they’re all just being kind

I am the only one who will know, Too much hope , time is slow
