Hope Is Self Betrayal
“Hope is Self Betrayal”
Why have I done this again
No longer can I quiet my rage
The sorrow I’ve caused with my pen
Is immortalized there on that page
I told you I was scared of this day
I told you I should have gone away
I told you it would hurt me to stay
But my words have simply passed through
And now there is nothing to do
I can’t just pretend it’s untrue
Now, ‘tis but a matter of when
And whether you forget this with age
Will you believe I did not mean to say
That I am in love with you
