Letters to Heaven

Dear mother, I am sorry

I haven't written recently

It's been pretty hard lately

To spare the demons between me

There's a devil in every drink I have

And the less I see the light

I'm so sorry that I've failed you

And gave up on the fight

I owed it to everyone just to try

And get back on my feet

I used to be the star of the team

But my future is an obsolete

And after what had happened

I could barely take the pain

I compare the win and loss of life

To the thrill of a football game

I could've done such better things

Had people not been envious

They sabotaged my biggest chance

And made life torturous

I witnessed love and held her form

Until she took to the skies

After watching her go I realized

That love is watching someone die

The past of me reflects inside

The bottom of every bottle

But I remember what you always said

"That God hears all and sees all."

That's why today I'll take a shot

If just to make you proud

And let my thoughts within

Finally be spoken aloud

I hope you don't forget

That I'll still try for you

And hope that you're still up there

Watching everything I do

I'll wrap this up now I guess

And pick up the pieces again

Talk to you again sometime

With lots of love, Justin
