If you've never had hope die

I know the worst pain possible
Worse than that of a bullet through your chest,
It is the pain when hope dies.

The feelings I would have expressed
The things I would have said
If I had known our only hope for love, would wind up dead.

The knot has become tangled
The plot has thickened
and the only way out is to hurt everyone

Even though I see you everyday
I ache with every word I say
Just to tell you would be a relief.

You will go through life
happily and you will never know
that I, I was in love with you so.

Next time you come to whine
Next time you come to moan,
I will turn a deaf ear, and not respond.

Because I regret my actions so long ago
the things I held within,
but I can not turn back the hands.

I will always be your friend
but you could never know my pain,
because I sheltered and hid you,

I wish I hadn't because
you can never possibly comprehend
the meaning Of every word I said





Until your hope dies.
