False Hope

A flicker in the distance

A flicker of light

Light

Something that before now

Was a myth

The flicker

The light

It draws you in

It stand out from the darkness

And pulls you closer

Step by step by step

Until you reach it

Until you're close enough that

That one hiss of air extinguishes it

You're once again in darkness

Darker than before

That light

It was hope

FALSE hope

Because

There never was any light to begin with

Any hope...
