I know where hope goes when it dies. I've been there before. First time, my momma didn't walk away after a car wreck; second, Daddy ate a bullet 'cause the loneliness was too much.
Third time I collapsed 'cause'a sobbing, that damned John Winchester told me his fuck-up got my Billy killed.
I know where hope goes when it dies, fluttering to the ground and gasping its last breath. I know how it feels when the world blinks around you and you don't know how you're still standing 'cause there's a hole where your heart used to be.
When John's oldest boy calls, Ash doesn't catch me before I fall, dropping the phone and screaming.
I know where hope goes when it dies. It's a sad, barren, cold place. I've been there before, but I live there now, 'cause John killed my Billy and now his sons killed my Jo.
