Hopelessness is the blinding whit when everything in your life has been deleted. The piercing silence that shoots through your body splitting every nerve on its way down. Its bitter thickness coats the inie of your mouth sliding down your throat and choking of your breath. It has no smell, its empty presence catches you off guard. Hopelessness is the widow sitting in a dark corner grieving for her lost husband. When your heart sinks to your feet, and waking up tomorrow seems worthless. It's the eyes of the litle girl filling with tears because she has to choose between mommy and daddy. Hopelessness is being lost behind your eyes in the pitch black. A screaming train breaking into the peace of the night. The taste of vinigar spilling from your lips. The smell of smoke when you drive up and watch as flames swollow your home. Hopelessness is a girl sitting in her room with a razor in hand unable to cry. It's every muscle in your body tearing from your bones as your fingers lose grip from the edge of a cliff. It's the phone call when you realize five hours ago your boyfriend said he loved you for the last time. It taste like the pills you gagged on just so you could sleep at night. Hopelessness is the unborn child inside its drug addicted mother. It's the feeling of cold steel being shoved into your back and you wondering why your best friend is smiling. Hopelessness is knowing something bad has happened because you walked into a room one second too late. Hopelessness Sorry it has been a long time for me to post or reply to anyones poems.I just had a baby about 2 months ago and she just got out of the hospital and is doing great. |

You pretty much summed up the meaning of the word. Webster could stand to take a few hints from you! GREAT WRITE!!! If you're not yourself, then there is no you. |
