Hope
Hope
is a
dangerous
thing.
While occasionally helpful
in small doses,
too much of it
is poison.
It cracks your soul
like an old piece of china,
until all that's left
is dust
and thoughts about
what could have been.
Hope
is a risk
that we all
choose to take.
It must be handled
with great precision,
or you will go up in flames
before you even
get the chance
to scream.
There is no rising from the ashes.
That piece of your puzzle
is done.
Hope will fill your cup
until it's overflowing,
and you never realize
that it's really liquid time
until you've drunk the whole thing
and end up
crying all alone.
It has no refunds,
and no refills,
so sip car
