Searching for Hope

Excuses, explanations, searching for reasons why

I'm tired and weak and weary

And all that's left is to cry

I'm sick of understanding and searching for false hope

I'm done reading books

Telling me how to cope

How to deal with this pain I'm feeling

And the emptiness inside

Searching for ways to fill a void

Trying my best to hide

From the people and the places

That make me think of you

From the depression that I'm feeling

And trying to push through

I accept that life is crazy

And doesn't always make sense

There's life and love and God and loss

But it doesn't help one bit

People say that it takes time

That I will move on slowly

But please forever know

That you were the only

One who ever stood by me

Strong and without waver

And until the day I die

You'll stay with me forever
