The shadow of my hope is fading...

The shadow of my hope is fading,
And I have grown to realize
My life is masterful pretending,
My truth means nothing more than lies.

The night from Saturday to Friday
Is neither 'never' nor the past;
I've turned back time, for it is my way
To let the sorrow go at last.

But this relief brings pain, much stronger,
It's just a mirror of my fear
To lose what's dead, it's mine no longer,
To think of what it hurts to hear.

Dear Beautiful...

this is a very sad song,
but so strong when read out loud
as I did.

And it resonates, quietly...

and thumps one's soul.

Well done.

I love this poem. I read it out loud too and it is wonderful.
