This one is irreversible
I don?t have hope
No disillusions
It will never be okay
This truth is blunt
It cuts deeply
No misconceptions
I will never see her again
What is hope
But a dream
Too perfectly round
To be sincere
Hope a suitor of pain
False promising
Fast dwindling
In cowardice
At the face of reality
I continue to nurture
A child called hope
Raise her upon my bosom
With the love of a mother
To a child discarded
If my child will grow
And leave and desert
Never looking back
To see my face
And if I never
Will see my sister
In heaven
An angel she?d be I pray
For now I?ll take the chance
And hope and hope
We?ll meet again someday
I don?t have hope
No disillusions
It will never be okay
This truth is blunt
It cuts deeply
No misconceptions
I will never see her again
What is hope
But a dream
Too perfectly round
To be sincere
Hope a suitor of pain
False promising
Fast dwindling
In cowardice
At the face of reality
I continue to nurture
A child called hope
Raise her upon my bosom
With the love of a mother
To a child discarded
If my child will grow
And leave and desert
Never looking back
To see my face
And if I never
Will see my sister
In heaven
An angel she?d be I pray
For now I?ll take the chance
And hope and hope
We?ll meet again someday
