Vain hope

Sometimes what we want most costs much

It burns like a fire

a haunting desire

Far away I hear your voice

would you listen now if I gave my choice?

Inside they whisper

Cruel words giving tasteless dreams

I’m a giver not a taker

but it flows out like a stream

A fiery heat burns its way to the inside

taking away my meaning to survive

Take a look there’s nothing left

It was taken away like a common theft.

The voice continues:

they taunt the skin

and taint the mind

Face it, your one of a kind

To rich of heart

to short of breath

Is this one’s way of facing death?

My breath comes short

as my life fades away

But here I fight to my dying day.

I so loved this part here, amazing rhyme scheme here.
This is wonderful, like how you express your emotions.
