Only Hope - As Hell Retreats

“You coward
You try to rid yourself
From this life
With all the bitterness you had
For this world
I know you had a heart of gold
Like you use to have ”
“What have I done
I never showed care for my son
This is the consequence
For my negligence ”
“ I can only hope
You use it well
On the other side
But I will keep hoping
You do not pass
So that it can be shared
So that your heart can be shared ”
“I keep asking why you’re still in pain
If you wear the scars of my mistakes
Oh but I was wrong to throw you past my walls
And wound you deeper still for
Questioning your faith
But no man’s doubts could
Ever change the truth
And now I see
How much you need to be
In her arms forever
I can only hope you
Wake up from this sleep so you can
Be the angel she would want you to be
Whether it’s here or up there
We can only hope ”
