i am lucy layne

Hope seems so mysterious

Full of wonder and what-ifs

So I can’t believe it ends like this

A fading light in a dark abyss

Hope held out its hand to me

And picked me up so gracefully

It shined enough for me to see

And found a way to set me free

Hope was there when no one was

It saved my life — that’s what it does

I can’t explain it, and I guess that’s because

It can turn betrayal into trust

Hope has always carried me

And we seem to travel aimlessly

But I’m somewhere that I shouldn’t be

Without a light, so I can’t see

Hope is what I’m looking for

Inside this room without a door

I’m crawling on a dirty floor

Nothing’s left, but is there more?
