Faith was broken
Hope got cold

The heart was frozen
The systems were on hold

Everything stopped for a second
More like some months

Something inside was shattered
It crumbled and ached
and soared

Another part was striving
harder and louder

it wanted a glimpse
to actually live for

But you can hear it
in their voice
it’s evidently clear

The words were choking
through pain
and stuck tears

The light was dimming
but the tunnel
was vast

It knew very well
that there should be
hope at last

At the end of the tunnel
hope would be warm
and faith would be restored

As long as
it keeps breathing

There is something worth living for .
