Languish

Languish, I do
Within me, deeper everyday
Hope dies every moment
and yet I hold onto 
of what remains

Is there a way to Un-languish me?
set me free from hope

When there would be no hope,
there would be nuthin to hold onto
and It might just set me free

Languish, I do
in moments of despair
in moments of memories gone past
in moments of stability too

Languish, fascinating a word
almost like a slouch
give me a bed and push me under the sheets
don't ever wake me up
let me go deeper
into the hope
I wish to let go off

funny, ain't it
that its hope 
pushing one to the edge
strange are the ways of humans
Languish, I do!
