Chereads / Dawn at the Abyss: A Collection / Chapter 13 - Hope and Despair

Chapter 13 - Hope and Despair

It all starts with hope

When you expect something

When you anticipate it to happen

When you wish for it so strongly

-

The mere thought of it

Sends a smile to your face

You feel sweetness and bliss

That never seem to fade

-

Next, you get disappointed

When what you expected never came

When what you anticipated didn't happen

When you didn't get something you wish so strongly for

-

You seem to falling into an abyss

With nothing to grasp on

The feeling of weightlessness

Give you no sense of security

-

You can see the light as you fall deeper

You try to reach for it

But you're only moving farther... And farther away

As the speck of light gets smaller

-

That's when it hits you

The feeling of falling farther away

From the thing you hope for

That's the feeling of despair
