Langston Hughes:A Dream Deferred-The Remake

And now you got me not wanting anything but a break from it all.
To wake up one day and not have to worry about if you love me or if you're gonna come back or not.
I'm trying to find the inner me that's full of pride and optimism, but it seems like it's too dark in here,
And my flashlight keeps dimming OUT.
I tried to paint a picture today of what I loved the most,
But it wasn't a surprise when all I painted was your name and a heart surrounding it.
I loved you the most, and for me, that was something I thought I was incapable of doing.
Isn't that funny? LOVE
The one thing you thought I didn't have, but yet it's you I cry for
And you who I pray to God comes back.
I wanted that fairy tale ending so I could close the chapter of my love life,
But for some reason or another, I ran out of ink.
And thus the story of my life.
