Angel of Hope

i beseech thee
listen to me
i've a story to tell
one i know all too well
about a life gone to hell
see this girl
the centre of my world
has become little more then a shell
of her former self
robbed of good health
and discarded like a doll on a shelf
she looks for me
to be
a lifeline
to help her in kind
i hold her hand
help her stand
make her deals
prepare her meals
i'm supposed to smile
all the while
as she asks for the simplest things
and inadvertantly yanks at my heart strings
i'm her angel of hope
stuck on anoose of rope
who do i blame
when she can't remember my name
what mere man
can change fates plan
after twenty years of love we are both damned

i know it's wrong
but it's been you and i for so long
i don't know what i'll do
without you when your gone

i wish i were you
and you were me
then i'd be free
never to see
another day
of you slipping away

i watch you rest
knowing i've done my best
for you today
in every way
you smile in your sleep
i'm glad you can fall so deep
and leave this world behind
with your idiot who can only rhyme
to define the world in his mind
everyday you say
you'll be okay
but heres the kicker
the doctors beg to differ
our friends say i'm brave for sticking with you
but i'm not years ago she made me a believer
i'll never leave her
when she cries
a part of me dies
when she goes i'll be so alone
as much as i hate it
there's no way to debate it
it's inevitable i can't waylay it
you know how in horror movies at the end the survivors say
" we made it"
lfes not like that for her it's bullshit
i wish i could revisit
the early days
so i could find new ways
to say
i love you
through and through
and no matter what we do
i'll stand with you
all the while
crying while
you smile your fading smile
i wish i could live in denial
with happiness staying at least for a while

i know it's wrong
it's been you and i for so long
i don't know what i'll do
without you when your gone

i wish i were you
and you were me
then i'd be free
never to see
another day
of you slipping away

heres the truth
as i raise the f***ing roof
here is my soul bare to attack
i cant turn back
i'm the angel of hope
stuck with my bloody noose of rope
condemned to care
until she's not there
and i've never been so scared
in my whole life....

i know it's wrong
it's been you and i for so long
i don't know what i'll do
without you when your gone

i wish i were you
and you were me
then i'd be free
never to see
another day
of you slipping away
