Hope/Fail

If we fail
If we dwindle and die
It was a beautiful dream we lived
To give all we had
And what is failure really
If it can paint such a story of hope?

Hope

Pernicious, perennial, insufferable hope.
If only I could be rid of you,
I would be free.

Hope

Day follows night follows day,
Only the luminous madness of hope,
Tells us tomorrow will be different.
