Hopelessly Hopeful

Frustration voyeurs within
like methane in the dust air;
breathing in and breathing out -
the savor of it tastes everything.
It feels like fire, like water,
And I am eaten alive,
Like the minerals in the depths;
Turn off the lights to see what you are.
Glorified and raw, look at the stars -
the moonbeams have shone against the war.
Hope renders impossibility,
Hopelessness and audacity.
Surely; yet surely...

And, weak lines that strengthen the bond,
touch the sounds in the strand -
why don't you and I?
Masquerade is a lovely revelry,
too vexed in the sweetness of honey.
Love comes hand in hand,
so why don't you and I?
Why don't you and I come hand in hand?

I am hopeful.
I am the one to break the walls.
And I am hopeless,
I said I bury myself in the stalls.
Full of promises,
but I am compromising.
I want to see what it means to be.
