Bartering Hopes

It weighed on me,

So i bought a lie;

And thus was sold,

My only sigh.

It went in deep,

And did spy,

Restless hearts,

And souls tied;

With fruitless prayers,

In endless cries;

But a hope remains,

To barter try-

So eyes downcast,

To heavens rise,

For dreams are sold,

And life's the price...
