"And hope came along as a woman"
I became familiar with the pain,
always killing tears
with the back of my hands.
I became accustomed to solitude,
always conversing with my subconscious.
Happiness, I have long forgotten about,
Smiling amidst my heart ache.
But then you came along.
In your eyes,
I saw hope.
In your words,
I hear the concealed faith.
Your voice filled with expectations
and never ending willingness.
I feel you,
I feel your optimism.
You're the one that brought hope.
