\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Never Without Hope<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can you hear that awful sound?<\/p>\n

Rainbows crumbling all around.<\/p>\n

Castles falling from the sky.<\/p>\n

Ever since you said goodbye.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Things are not the same anymore.<\/p>\n

Since you walked right out the door.<\/p>\n

I tried to go out for a change.<\/p>\n

I should have stayed inside in chains.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The world is horrible without you.<\/p>\n

All the colors are black and blue.<\/p>\n

Nothing has life. All is bleak.<\/p>\n

There is nothing that I seek.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Except, for a small ray of hope.<\/p>\n

Something that can help me cope.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t turn to drugs as a crutch.<\/p>\n

Alcohol is really out of touch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only you can work the cure.<\/p>\n

Bring me back from the edge of fear.<\/p>\n

Only you have the key to my heart.<\/p>\n

Without you, I am falling apart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All is not lost. There is still hope.<\/p>\n

As long as I don\u2019t sink the boat.<\/p>\n

It will take time to pull it all together.<\/p>\n

First, I have to survive this weather.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This storm of emotions I deal with daily.<\/p>\n

Still holding hope that you\u2019ll say; maybe.<\/p>\n

I must chuck it all like last week\u2019s dreams.<\/p>\n

Life cannot be as bad as it seems.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is a dream lover for every dreamer.<\/p>\n

I swear, more than once, I have seen her.<\/p>\n

I need to work a miracle, \u00a0or two.<\/p>\n

Then, maybe, I can forget about you.—————R. W. Johnson—–(2015)<\/p>\n
