hope

I stare at the world

my eyes searching

for something more

I float

I soar

I dream

eyelids fluttering

as it all comes into life

stardust on my fingers

the milky way under my feet

the universe at my hands

a light lost in space

darkness spread on the edge of my mind

a loving heart

cradled in your arms

once found

now again without a home

barefoot I stand

sharing my soul

confiding in your thoughts

yet they leave no trace

of my tries

of my hopes

of my love

I hit a void

just after I crash against your walls

don't hold me back

when I want to fly

don't put me down

when I want to be held

I need the warmth

yet I get none

I yearn for the fire

to burn my fears

and cover myself in ashes

so I can be reborn

I want it... but do you?
