Hope

I hope

You slip the knife in gently

I hope

When you ask me to come you leave me alone

I hope

Each drop I spill won't find its way home

I hope

You slam the door quietly

I hope

One scream barks at your heels

I hope

The shudders will be drawn across my face

I hope

You take what you brought back to hell

I hope

When you see me there

I pray

You close your eyes to mine and walk on.
