Hope

I arrive as your tears freeze like an icy snowflake.

I desperately knock on the door of your heart,

Searching for the slightest room for me to step in.

Before it’s too late, before it breaks apart into hundreds of pieces.

I could either be the best gift, or your greatest enemy.

I give people happiness,

Although it may vanish once I leave.

I’d stay however long you wish for, an hour or eternally.

Everything depends on you, on the choices you make.

But always remember, I may be last thing you can hold onto,

When you’ve lost everything, even the meaning of life.

I am hope.
