Eyes of Hope

"Fear is only in the eyes
of those that do not see hope."

But when the ones who see hope,
are let down - once,
twice, maybe some more,
the bitter space
that it leaves,
the void of faith
that it creates,
leaves an insentience
deep.
It plagues the mind,
it takes over sleep.
It makes each eye tear,
and each soul weep.

Hope would stay,
but instead comes fear.
And who is to blame,
but who hope revered?
