When eventually kills hope

I’d been told

A heavenly protector

was watching over me

but when I called its name

it didn’t come from the heavens

on a flaming white steed

so I called louder

but it didn't hear

that’s okay 

eventually

I figured out what I’d been told

wasn’t meant for the children of a lesser god

I’d been told

that you get what you give

and good things come to those who wait

to do unto others as you would have them do

and turn the other cheek

I must of missed the fine print

my face was beginning to sting

But I figured out what I'd been told

didn't mean everybody and everything

was weighted on these scales

it was selective

that's okay

eventually

I was too

I told myself

when hope has no meaning

there is no disappointment

no expectation

Eventually there was nothing

to deal with

save me
