Was it their fault?
Were they in the wrong?
She made her choice
Was it their responsibility?
She thought it through
Were they supposed to control that?
They did everything right
But some things are out of their control
Can they be responsible for everything?
She didn't follow in their footsteps
Instead
She turned away
She went against her upbringing
It saddened them
They tried to bring her back
Yet she would not return
'Where is justice?'
She would ask
But she'd never listen
Then she fell
Well,
She jumped
She tried to escape their loving hands
Forever
But failed
Thank goodness
It couldn't have been their fault
But they would have felt it
Nonetheless
They still feel it now
But they will
And so will she
I hope
