False Hope Poem by May N

i want to hold someone in my arms
someone who loves me, someone now
it's only a matter of finding them
hidden in this dark desolate place
god, where are you?

i'm tired of waiting, been waiting too long
for someone to come save me yet
they always find a way to break me
always getting beaten down, hurting me
oh, when will it end?

been searching too long, looking everywhere
nothing to find but hurt, hurt, more hurt
wishing for a better place, person
love, love, it's what i'm looking for
don't hide it from me

begging, looking, hoping, useless
there's no one out there for me
fooling myself searching, false hope
there's nothing to be found, none
why do i keep trying?
