Glimmer of Hope

I look in your direction,
You look in mine.
I catch the smile that plays across your face a moment.
I'm remembering those times too.
As we speak and begin catching up,
I glance in your eyes,
A glimmer of hope.

I notice this hope as it makes me smile.
Perhaps we could revisit those old times.
But your next move proves me wrong,
Slowly you turn around and begin walking away.
No words spoken, not a sound.
The glimmer of hope stolen from me,
With no chance of returning.
I walk away beaten, tired, and worse.
My already fragile heart breaks and disappears.
Hidden in shadow no light could possibly luminate,
But somehow it feels safe.
The pain is all gone,
Nothing hurts anymore,
No more feelings.
Finally
I
Am
Free...
