It was dangled in before me
Like a precious gift
An unsolicited gift
Closer, closer
I can see it clearly
It's transparent
I want to touch it
But it's just out of reach
I realize it is, in fact,
Invisible
I know it's there
But I can't see it
I want it now dearly, fervently
I step closer and lift my arms
My hands grasp where it should be
But it's not there
There is nothing there
There is nothing
All that hope
Placed before me, in my path
All that hope
For something I could never have
All that hope
Slammed me to the ground so fast
All that hope
For which I had never asked
All that hope
Shattered all that life would have left intact
All that hope
