Eclipse of Hope

Make a wish on a twinkling star
pray that the pain will go away
watch the smoke curl and twist with the wind
then vanish forever like your dreams
you're screaming on the inside
begging for someone to hear your silent pleas
wish to fall asleep and never wake up
*
Turning I catch your eyes sparkling with inner agony
I try to take your hand so close yet so far
I'm a million miles away
but I can still hear your screams for it to end
a blood red sun sets on another lonely day
a hope once new begins to die
you've discovered the art of dying
*
Your thoughts tell you to just go and give up
it would be so much easier so much simpler
grinding your teeth in anguish tears slowly streaming
about to make a life wrenching choice
my lips move but only a breath comes out
yet you still hear me whispering your name on the wind
so quiet so strong a spark of undying hope
*
Watch the golden sun rise high in the blue sky
slowly your eyes close breathe in the peace
listen to the whispers of hope
entwine your fingers in mine hold on so tightly
I promise to never let you go as long as I live
let the warmth of your dreams flow over you
it's the beginning of the end
