The Other Side of Hope

secretedsins:

I’ve often heard it said
that hope may set you free.
Should hope be well founded,
that’s something I can see.

But, just as hope might save,
its loss might strike a blow,
especially for one
unused to its warm glow.

While constant, bitter pain
drones on without refrain,
the senses become dull,
and it can be contained,—

A man bereft of hope,
though wretched, thus survives.
Departure from that norm
is where the danger lies.

As, once hope shines within
a lonely, tortured soul,
its abrupt withdrawal
may take a deadly toll;

For, hope leads man to feel
exposed to the devine;
if, then, hope is destroyed,
despair shall dine sublime.
