Hopes forlorn

The sleepless nights I had then, 

I had something to dream about, 

Hope waiting at the end of the tunnel, 

The life I loved, waiting out there to live. 

I had known, the dreams won't last, 

Not forever, not for a score, 

Yet, I hoped my hope won't desert, 

Now that it did, I stopped to think. 

The sleepless nights I have now, 

I have nothing to dream about, 

Hope forlorn, no light in vicinity, 

My life I lead, hollow and ridden of life.
