You

Patiently waiting for
A filler for this void in my heart
My mind wraps around this thought
But it will never stop once it starts

Under the dark folds of life, I know there is light
No matter how weak I am, I know I can fight
As long as I have hope, there will always be you

To pick me up when I'm down
To speak the truth when there's only lies
The soft smile to change my frown
My help to succeed after countless tries

Inside the dark hole of life, you are my light
No matter how weak I am, for you I will fight
When I'm trapped in silence, I hear soft words spoken
Though my heart is fragile, it will not be broken
As long as I have hope, it will be kept by you

Sitting blind in the dark... searching
My eyes try to focus... learning
That they can't make you come faster
I have no control... over you

Welcome to Neo RolaytraLynn

A great poem. As long as you keep this in your heart there will always be hope. And we need hope for our survival. Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell
