Lying under the majestic dark sky
A mournful soul gazes up
At the stars which are as bright as hope
So far away in the distance
Just like it's beaten heart is from it's body
Forever wrapped in the darkness
This soul that has not even a speck of life left in it
Just lies upon the cool sand and contemplates
All the while hearing the waves gently wash over the rocks
Years of grief has left this soul feeling helpless
Where did that concept of hope disappear to?
Or was it never there to begin with?
The soul can not remember
Instead, it remembers other things
Which are by this time also vague in it's mind
It can picture a young boy
Sitting in solitary silence away from everyone else
And just observing every little detail
All the while with a heart as cold as ice
Why was he all alone?
Did anyone even notice?
Then the soul can see a person approaching the young boy
That person had noticed his loneliness
But could not get the boy to respond
He was gazing aimlessly somewhere in the distance
It was as if he had given up on life
And was just waiting for death to claim his soul
This person was puzzled about this boy who looked half dead
But gradually, over the course of months
It had managed to pour some light into this frozen soul
And the boy came to know hope once again
But alas, the soul was soon to turn cold again
For one day, the person just disappeared
On that day, this soul died
No emotions could be felt anymore
It was then that he realised
He was to be forever alone
Never to trust anyone again
For surely it was better to avoid attachment than to lose it?
So where did that concept of hope disappear to?
Or was it never there to begin with?
Maybe it was there once in the distant past
But this broken soul can not remember anymore
