You kept your silence,
I did too,  
You held your violence,
I saw it through.  

In all the memories,
in all the thrills,  
You turn away,
I stand still.  

I don’t want to wait,
neither do you,  
We know the gate,
beyond it—view.  

Heavens no,
I hold no hate,  
You think I ran,
I changed my fate.  
I did not break,
I did not bend,  
I dodged the bullets,
found my end.
