The Pearly Gates
When the day comes
That you have worked towards
When you go to heaven
And stand before God
When he judges you
I hope you’re able to justify
The way you treated me
Better than I can
I hope you can tease out the inconsistencies
Of your love for me
To your savior
I hope it is worth it
To look in the eyes of Christ
And repeat what you’ve told me for years
I hope it gives you pride
To rest on the knowledge
That all your hard work must be fruitful
And most of all, I hope that when he hears your story
He sneers
That he refuses you
And that you fall
Into darkness and despair
Lost and alone
Just like me
