Hope

The first unassigned poem I ever wrote down. From 2008.

Where'd it go?
Where'd it go?
It all disappeared
Why'd it go?
Why'd it go?
It's gone as I feared
Burned out like a candle
Burned me like a flame
A spear through my heart
Piercing my shame
Making it hurt
Making it hurt
Why do I care?
Disappeared in thin air
Not the first shall I say
Where'd it go
Where'd it go
If it'd only come back to stay
Then all'd be okay.
