Desolation Poem by Mary Champion

My hopes have flown away,
like dreams at daybreak fade.
Now my future fades to grey.

Somehow, I lost my way,
my heart has been betrayed.
My hopes have flown away.

There's nothing you can say,
to make me less afraid
now my future fades to grey.

I rise to face the day -
there's debt to be repaid.
My hopes have flown away.

I cannot see a way
my life could be remade
now my future fades to grey.

Such pain comes into play -
a brutal biting blade.
My hopes have flown away
now my future fades to grey.
