Bring me hope
that hasn’t forgotten
that look in my eyes.
Capture
all my longing
long gone
and bring it back
as if you’ve wrestled leviathan, stinging nettles,
the inky blackness of your own heart.
Bring it back,
run your hand over it,
as if you cared.

You are such a gifted poet. Brevity with impact is no simple task, though you make it seem so. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
