Hopeless Poem by Danny Speicher

At a loss for words, am I
Don't know what more to say
Or what more to do
Even now I still miss you

I've done all that I can
To erase you from my mind
To burn you from my soul
But, yet still I can't control

The feelings in my heart
Can't be purged
They can't be wiped clean
I cannot be weaned

From the love you gave
So freely, so easily
So absolutely perfect in every way
So completely every day

I don't know what I did
I don't know what to do
I can't keep my heart
And your love apart

I'm hopeless
I'm pitiful
I sit in silent fear
Wishing you were near

I'm alone
In the midst of a crowd that's mine
If only you were to be
One of those so close to me

Dreams and visions
Can never bring you
Close enough to feel
Your hands that can heal

Hopes and desires
Only prove to create
A false hope within
And further pity therein

I wish I could hate you
For the pain that you've caused
I wish I could despise you
With a fire so true

But, alas, I love you, still
And I suppose I'd rather hurt
Than to hurt the memory
Of us together, you and me

I could never find it within
To destroy the love we felt
The night we sat under the stars
Together, in each others arms

Although I miss you
Although I hurt
I wish you nothing but the best
I wish you all success
I wish you to overcome the rest
Even shen you're put to the test
I pray that you rise above
With a heart full of love
I wish you nothing but the best
