There Once Was Hope by Steph McGuckin


There was once a promise of snow,
But the sky said 鈥楴o,
You don鈥檛 deserve such a pretty feat;
Be content with sleet.鈥�

There was once a promise of friends
Who said 鈥楾his is the end
You refused to go; you鈥檝e let us down
We no longer want you around.鈥�

There was once a promise of love
But the heart ruled by the head said
鈥楲eave your soul mate, for love is dead;
Settle for this fleeting fancy instead.鈥�

Life is a pot of empty promises
Not only of things I should have,
But of things I will most certainly lose
By my own hand.听
