Despair

Despair

Despair, my wretched darling,

I know that you'll be true,

Never let me face a day apart from you.

But Hope, your cruelest sister,

Will never leave my side,

And her whispers are sweet poison to my mind.

I told her to forget me,

But she would not begone,

And with her curséd smiles draws me on.

And though I long to hold you,

I fear you'll always find,

I have two loves, Hope won't be left behind.
