I Hope...

Running from the truth
Steadily eating the fruit
Killing all the roots
Looting and stealing
Wheeling and dealing
Numbing feeling
Cold heart
Warm at the start
Life goes on
Somewhat darker
Light shall come
I hope...

Hope is all we have sometimes, and I love that part "Running from the truth" don't we all. Love this write.
