flicker of hope
By rory t •
How could you stand and watch a child crying
when inside its only hope is dying
how could you deliver such a punishing blow
rejecting the love that they still want to show
When is it right to hurt and decieve
a poor innocent child clinging tight to your sleeve
when is it right to be mad and unkind
to the people you love and the person inside
but all is not lost
theres a flicker of hope
without intense intoxication
the hurting elopes.
