Poetry: Despair

by Jesse Lagreca

Created on: May 19, 2008

Despairing

All I have is hope
Someone someone please
My words remain dead silent
I hope someone's listening

It feels just like I'm drowning
Water people everywhere
No one can see or hear me
And I'm running out of air

Imagine just one planet
With no moons no stars no sun
Cold lifeless and barren
Nowhere light can come in from

Hideous a monster
Shouldn't come out of his cave
All that his heart should feel
Is the cold steel of a blade

From the bottom of the pool
I see people in the sun
Watered down romantic fool
Can not remember where I'm from

Deep within cold water
All that I had was hope
It escaped when the light left me
Now all that's left to do is choke

There still is a slim chance
Someone someone save me please
All I've ever had was no one
I hope someone's listening
