“Despair”
Flavorless to the tongue,
chains you down without warning
Tears you down till there’s nothing left
And when you feel the sweet release of “Hope”
Touched by humanity’s kindness
Puzzled by it’s ruthlessness
You ache to be seen
But do nothing to make that reality
Alas, it remains like a infant child
Yearning to be coaxed
Time stops for no one
Yet it has room in it’s agenda to torment each mind
“Despair”
An unseeable thing
Yet so close, you could touch
“Give it life!” it spoke to it’s lord
“Give it everything, but let it have the ability to envy, to hate”
“Despair” smiles cooly at every life as they take their own
It whispers in mans ear, till it shatters his very core
But, teaching him only one lesson
“Break the unknown, before it breaks you.”
