There's No Hope At All

There's No Hope At All, poem by Signe Robertson, 2009




I know what love is
It's a burning Hell
Hands that you will never touch
A feeling that will never be enough

Someone you can't be with
Even though you wish you could
Someone too gorgeous for words
And you don't even care how they look

It's weird how people think
Saying death is such a terrible thing
Have you ever tried being alive?
It hurts more than you can believe!

If you kill or physically abuse
You'll go to prison, but what about those
Who kill someone from the inside out?
Starting with the soul, where it hurts the most

I know I'm an idiot
You know that it's true
I'm just a plain girl
And probably uglier than you

When I was little
I wasn't much better
I just longed for something
To make it all matter

But now that I've grown up
Now that I'm older
I finally know
There's just nothing to find - There's no hope at all!
