A New Hope

I have not felt the elation that is hope, not for a while at least.

It's like eating that one thing you haven't in years, the memories being brought back the moment it hits your mouth.

There's a new life in me, one that has reignited the fire, the passion.

The only fear is hoping it doesn't get snuffed out so quickly as I found it again,

please let this be the thing that lasts.

I wait by my phone as the seconds,

minutes,

hours,

days pass.

I am not usually the person that willingly has hope, but I will make the exception this once.

Let this be my out.

Let me be free of this hell.

I am hoping for the better days I was promised.
