The Light

That light, the slight glimmer of hope
the one that appears every time you trust
the one that make you feel as if you can float
the love that feels like it could not rust

But then it does, something happens and it fades
the light, the one that had you holding on
and it turns out it was just another one of life's charades
suddenly everything feels wrong

The desire is still there and it won't leave
the love remains
so now instead of light it is the burden of darkness you must heave
and you feel so little like the sands simple grains

It happens again and again
am I not good enough
why can't my heart someone mend?
why is this so tough?

Will I always be the one who loves but will never be loved?
oh I wish this is not true
but to side I am shoved
and there is nothing I can do
