LOST IN HOPE

His eyes water
as
he sits thinking.
of her.
of life.

could we ever happen?
could they let us be?
or
will i die alone?

lost in hope.
a tear
falls
down his chin.

does she love me?
does she love him?

hands shaking.
heart pounding.
tears fall
as
he gasps for air.

why is she so scared?
why can't she
believe
in me?

knees
hit the floor
as
the empty bottle drops.

she
is everything to him.
