Hope rekindles;
Flares under your skin
Heats in your ribcage
Flickers in your heart
Then it is blown out, leaving nothing behind but
Pain and darkness
Curdling in the pit of your stomach
Sinking at the back of your mind
Settling into your emotions,
Like it never left.

Hope rekindles;
Flares under your skin
Heats in your ribcage
Flickers in your heart
Then it is blown out, leaving nothing behind but
Pain and darkness
Curdling in the pit of your stomach
Sinking at the back of your mind
Settling into your emotions,
Like it never left.
