Mercer


The rides are over, take one last glance of red. Regrets that choke. You see that folded note propped on your desk. We should've reached you when we could, I pray to God that my views on heaven are misunderstood. As your eyes close, with just yourself to blame. You made a permanent choice for such a temporary pain. Behind the glass we cry and scream. Tears of grief from knowing you may not have been redeemed.
