The Absence of Hope

"The absence of hope is the greatest despair." - Debra Forrest

The Loss of Hope

The loss of hope, is a life ending.
It's a bomb exploding.
The planes crashing,
And a martyr burning.

The loss of hope, is the sun setting: to never rise again.
It's the fish drowning,
And the sky falling.
It's the ocean roaring, and the lion purring.

The loss of hope, is the silent cry of Romeo.
It's the love of hate,
And the hate of love.
It's the betrayal of sun by rain.

The loss of hope, is the greatest despair.
