You Will Be Remembered

 
When finally throwing off this mortal coil
What do you envisage what might they say
When you listen will it make you blood boil
Or will your guilty thoughts lead your mind astray

Is it the stark truth, the truth you'd rather avoid
Preferring them not to be exact with the facts
You would want tact and diplomacy deployed
Instead of honest and justified personal attacks

In truth: Truth is what you don't want out there
You're whole life you have lived creating a deception
A serial creator of heartbreak, pain and despair
Dolled out to all you met without exception

What exactly will you really leave behind you
When the mask has dropped, naked and exposed
You've become your reflections, you've come unglued
A life of treachery and lies has finally been disclosed

You deliberate cruelty knew nothing of bounds
Your fakery and only loving your self, a legend
You callousness, hatred and arrogance astounds
The truth of you is out there. no need to pretend

You legacy left, you were a cunt, a hate filled bastard
Your venomous mouth could have done with rough stuffing
The manner of your passing by your own hand re-mastered
You were worthless in life, in death you signify nothing

There is no place in heaven or hell despite your desire
As you made others do, you'll walk alone in the dark
Your eternal shame felt with you feet held to the fire
This everlasting torture, the journey you must now embark

This is my gift to you
This is my curse
This is how it will be
I am now at peace
You can go now
Fuck off
