Why call me
after you are gone?
Responding to a void, waiting,
the only evil remaining in my box
is hope.

Hope is good but can also leave you hanging if you wait on the wrong person.

Hello Stephen, I absolutely agree. For a better application of the idea of hope being the last thing left in Pandora’s Box, check out “Pandora’s Curse” by Jack Du Brul. I do not completely agree with this idea, but I like it. I am more of a “Shawshank Redemption” type — now that is hope for you!

A lot of truth in those short lines.

Hello I.L., many thanks for your comments. I guess I was lucky to have an attack of inspiration. Writing poetry is so hard.

It really can be, but that one was great 🙂
