Just trying a new style...

Hope stands as the pawn we move.. Life the game we play.. Time changed the rules.. Fear mocks the words we pray.. Lies become a way of life.. Hate fills the songs we sing.. Answers precede the questions.. Doubt shadows the rewards they bring.. Trust fades as does passion.. And though the pain we cast shall stay.. The void deepens beneath us.. Yet we run faster every day.. The tapestry looms before us.. As the weave begins to fray.. Despair opens the clasps.. as we cast our souls away.. The heart speaks and hence we listen.. For love is the chance we long to take.. Reason fails to longing.. As our fragile pride begins to break.. We reach to grip the moment.. Fate plunders the cards we hold.. Silence makes for a companion.. As the embrace we shared turns cold.. What little faith we had.. Is now a whisper on the wind.. Clouds steal all the love we had away.. Soon the tears begin. What we had we gave for nothing.. What we gained was taken a way. Hearts hold to the pieces.. As dreams shift from gold to gray. What we are no longer matters.. For we are whom we have made. Wounds serve to teach a lesson.. Love can always hold a blade. What holds a life together..? When the core of empty love lingers on..? What drives us to go forward..? When all hope is gone..?

A list of life's reality as you have felt them--Enjoyed the thoughts, makes one look to make the mistakes of yesterday better.

good write, Erica...in my case, even in the darkest hours, the little flame of hope is never gone...sometimes it is just so damned hard to see. Well done!

Well penned Erica!!

"What holds a life together..?

When the core of empty love lingers on..?

What drives us to go forward..?

When all hope is gone..?
