Cowardess or Bravery... I just don't know.

I weighed it. Took measure, found the fears

separate, but equally crushing.

 

This is my fault.

This is the only love

I'm worthy of

My vacancy

would destroy him

This is all

my fault

Bitterness

already stains us all

And my inaction

paralyzes any hope of redemption

 

My child will learn

lies.

Instead of love.

 

Her hatred of me

will grow.

And it will all

be my fault.
