Despair is cold truth exposed,
a shatter of glass, some may say,
despair is hope deposed,
wishes and joy made prey.
But that is not all of despair,
Despair is the darkness in the cosmos,
the darkness surrounding Heaven’s stair,
it is the feeling only Hell could compose.
Despair is the greatest sorrow around,
it is pain in true definition,
it is anguish crowned,
it is the actions of melancholy coming to fruition.
Yet despair shall always bear a spark of hope,
and man will always be able to cope.
