You enticed me you convinced me

That it all would be okay

And with your clinging tendrils I'd 

Assumed it would someday

I prayed and I begged

And I pleaded through my tears

That I would have more time with her

Not just twelve measly years

You were cruel in your inaction

When I gave you all that I had

You feel nothing while I mourn

Nigh—you ponder why I'm sad

You act as if you are enough

Like your presence is a gift

But if you'd never come at all

Then there'd be no aching rift

I detest you, I despise you

Cause you dragged me by your rope

Now I'm hanging by a thread

And it's all of your fault Hope
