No redemption



Thinking about you in my lonely bed,

Heaven feels like hell without you in it.

Memories flash through my ravaged mind,

Bittersweet pain brings tears with the smile.

I know I didn’t do right by you,

I wish I could turn back time, 

I wish I could undo the hurt,

I wish I could show how I feel,

How much you mean to me.

But I know I’ve pushed you too far,

Redemption seems like a distant dream.

I call out to the gods that may be,

For a second chance to do right by you,

My prayers falling into silent ears,

I know I’m losing you with every breath I take,

The pain crushes me but all I want now,

Is to know that you’re happy. 

This will hurt a lifetime,

But I will learn to live with the pain,

Because in the end, all that matters are memories, 

So keep the good ones, forget the rest,

Remember me with a smile and not a frown,

And if ever you could then come back to me,

I’ll be waiting, however long it takes,

Cause all that matters is seeing your smile again,

And knowing that the sun will shine back on me.
