sometimes I don't understand
the reasons why time has been good to us,
or the reasons why it hasn't.
every little day dissected,
and sorted into "wrong" or "right",
our sins pile up by our bedroom doors,
while we try to sleep at night.
I am ugly inside.
I am rotting.
it is easy to understand why.
but I can't quite figure out when I went wrong,
which of my sins tipped the scales
what brought me to this place?
and what is going to bring me out?
but I am so happy for you.
when I see you smile,
when I see that time has been good to you, because you were always good to me.
and I understand why I have never deserved it.
