Blind Hope.

I step into another gray day,
sheltered by your presents
Summoning my ability to "go-on",
I drag these scraps of happiness
from the of the corner of the room,
and walk forward in blind hope.

My virgin bruised heart
musters what dignity remains.
Not a vestige of truth is allowed,
nor faith in better days;
In reverence I'm draped in your smile
clenching these treasured memories.
Am I provoked by those happy times,
when I knew I loved you, and you loved me.

Nice writing! I like the way it moves forward with hope for something, but expecting nothing.

I definitely agree with Kris, Daniel...
It is very nicely done and I like the way it leaves the door open for future hope.
