Only Hope

“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 ”
