When All You Can Do Is Hope

The candle flickered for a second.
A gust of wind. Then all was dark.
It was as if hope had entered for a brief second.
As if it lit up the room of despair for a moment.

If only that hope could've stayed longer. Just a bit.
If only that hope could've lingered. Just a while more.
If only that hope could've been savored. Just for forever.
If only that hope could've been everlasting. Just for me.

There are some tough situations in life.
Situations in which the only thing to do is hope.
Hope is the only thing that gets you through them.
These situations aren't hard to find, they happen all the time.

But sometimes hope is hard to find,
it taunts you, leading you in circles.
But in reality all you have to do to find hope,
is reach into your heart's desire, and there.

Clear as day, you'll find it. You'll find hope.
All you have to do is trust your heart.
