Worthless
you said he was worthless
threw him to the curb and laughed
everyone else
they called you an angel
your honey sweetened smile a mockery
they called you an angel
lauded you for your kindness
for your grace
but you called him worthless
said he should die
that hell was waiting
he listened, he died
it was your fault
he's gone and it was your fault
and he did reach hell
and hell welcomed him
with the warmest hugs and brightest eyes
blood burnt lips said, "welcome home"
and he was at peace
