I Hope

A Poem by Hello, Goodbye

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

It was the bleakest day of my life.

The day I realized I am a failure.
A simple truth. In the dark, a shining light.
That she has always been right.

On that day bitterness flowed.
An artillery of words, that brought dishonor.
As it all continued, (Between the turmoil) I realized.
That my persona I despise.

Very frustrated, we then halted the hatred.
Separating to mundane things that awaited.
All that day, (In my mind..) All I could say:
Is that, she has always been right.

So, I just want to let her know...
That my love will last forever,
Even if it has not fully grown.
I hope that she forgives me,
For the Haines person that I have shown.
(I hope, I hope)
I hope that I can truly show her,
That our treasure is not...
On a downward slope.

(I hope, I hope)

I tried my worst to do my best.
When hard labor was called for,
all I did was sit and rest.
Always pulling on the covers,
not wanting to face the day.
All while pounding on my chest.

This horse (I prematurely) did mount.
Before the whole thing started,
I was down on the count.
She has endures so many trials,
Im amazed she has not ran,
for miles and miles and miles.

Now I mourn as I look back.
Mourning all the deficiencies,
that sadly I have stacked.
All I can hope for is redemption.
(If I could become the exemption...)
We could rail ourselves into the right track.

So that is why, I hope to let her know...
That my love will last an eternity,
Even if, its barely shown.
I hope that she forgives me,
For the inconsiderate person that I have shown.
(I hope, I hope)
I hope that I can truly show her,
That our unity is not...
On a downward slope.

(I hope, I hope)

Im a coward yes its true.
There is no delete button,
For the things I've done to you.
I am awfully self absorbent.
Miles away from reaching mental manhood.

As I recall (things) that you called out.
I can only plead forgiveness for you hold all the clout.
I will pursue patience.
I will pursue peace.
So in the end, we could iron out this crease.

So, I want to let you know...
That my heart (for you) will beat forever,
Even if its rarely shown.
I hope that you forgive me,
For the cold personality that I have shown.
(I hope, I hope)
I hope that as a person I can mature.
Show that my intentions are pure.

True Love, there is but few.
