A bigger man

i cannot write a poem for pardon
it is too easy and simple to set one free
i cannot write one for hope because
to hope, is to love even a lout

so i write this poem in the hope to seek
within myself, the courage and the strength to be
a better man, for the one i loved she has asked for nothing
'cept a chance to see one day, a bigger man

almighty god, hear me my prayer
it’s from the soul of the cheat
he took away the strength from an angel
and sent her away to a place, because of her, he would never be

so i beg of yee: send him to the darkest of places
a place from where he may not return
send him to where you would not send even your son
lose him and I wish he gets burned

he will learn his lesson for he will be among his cheats
he will get his heart torn and his strength sapped
play with his mind till he cries out in his sleep
and to lose the will to carry on, give him a bit of him.

for every ounce of inspiration he took away
give it back to your angel a hundred fold
for this cheat is willing to spend a lifetime in prison
if only he could have seen what he had going on.

i beg you lord to grant me this wish
there’s nothing more i hope for than this
the wounds too deep, the realization was slow
and with your help this promise i’ll keep
