Strange Love Letter#2

I want to murder hope.
There, it's now in the open.
Hope, vengeful and triumphant
a silk thread
I cut til I bleed and still,
it claws deep, alive
because of a dream,
a voice in my head,
the prophet, 
who says, This is right.

Were I brave enough,
were it falter once,
I will take poison
the bitterest, my love
to kill every speck of you
to scrub me raw and repeat.
Were there is a pill,
anti-hope, anti-you, dear
I will take without water.
Choking optional.

How I plot!
Going against the divine
is a sordid, blue affair.
I tip-toe between wrath
and spiritual abyss.
Yes, I promised, I swore true
to nurture, nourish, foster.
Yet, if love turns cold,
may I not seek to escape,
before hate takes reign?

Leashed with hope, 
I follow one path forward.
This road is getting darker,
and only you have the light.
Why do you keep it from me?
