Lost Hope.

Strewn across the floor
Lay these words
Like broken glass
And I walk upon them barefooted
Hoping the pain will slowly pass

You're standing at the end
So close and yet
So far away
My feet still take me boldly
Hoping this pain will go away

Any light of hope still burning
Lies only within me
You're still there
But you've turned your back
Hoping you won't see

Trails of me behind
The floor of glass
Now scarlet sand
Fear still knives my spine
Hoping I'll crumble where I stand

With every point and pierce
I wipe away my façade
I cry away my pride
I tear away my guard

That light I held on to so far
Is fading along with me
You're still there but
You've turned your back
Hoping you never have to be
Okay with the real me

Shreds of my soles lay waste
Upon the bloody floor
Have I done all I can today?
The further I drag my feet
The further you move away

Now strewn across the floor
Is a red river
And pieces of me,
As I walk upon it bare
Nothing left of me to tear
Hoping you will care to see
That all that was ever there
Was all of me.
