The pain is deep
It eats at my soul
My heart stiffens
I ache for relief
My body tightens
Muscles tense
Tendons strain
I can’t move
My brain swells
Turbulence within
Emotions swirl
A whirlwind inside
Tears well up
Eyes close
Salt water streams
Touch my lips
Body crumples
Folding in half
Whimpers break
The silent room
Darkened window
Broken shade
Beam of light
Upon the floor
Tear drops glisten
Reflecting light
Sparkles of hope
Deep in my soul
“I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.” – Psalm 6:6
“Why, my soul, are you downcast?Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” – Psalm 42:5

Beautiful expression of hope. We all can gleam much light from your words.
Thanks. Blessings to you.
And, I like how you titled it: the HOPE!
You express well what we feel. 😥 Those depths of emotion, the valleys, are gifts from God, as are the mountain heights. They tug on us with such veracity and ferociousness.
Yes, these are moments that can deepen our faith.
