Hope.....faded
And look, here we are,Standing together,
A pair of faded
Young lovers.
How many times
We rekindled that flame,
Only
To shatter the dream,
Through fear of betrayal!
And, as you turned away
One last time,
I felt your pain,
As fingers of ice
Clutching my shivering soul.
I should have spoken,
And oh! the words were burning, burning,
My lips, my heart, my mind!
Turn back, turn back,
See! I shall tell you what I feel,
If I can find the courage,
This time.
Too late.
Will there be another time?
Another chance?
Or should I accept
It can never be?
I still wait
Though hope is
Nothing more than
an old photograph
Faded, stained
And only rarely
Seen.
