i died
in a less permanent way than you
but i’ll keep living in hell
if that what it takes
to give them a better life
i’ll swallow all of it
still being labeled as the bad guy
and you still a hero
i’ll do my best to protect them
to show them unconditional love
and pretend i’m not still dying
your death is permanent and you can’t help
but i’ll do it for them
they have already been through hell
but i’ll try to make it less painful
even if it rips me apart
because despite what they say
i know you’d be proud of me
the sacrifices
all to try to protect them
from the life we never wanted them to have
there is only so much i can do
but ill do it for us, and for them
and i know in my being
you’d be proud
even if they hate me
i’ll swallow it all
for them like you would have
because who else is so selfless
you are dead and i’m still here by some miracle
so i’ll use this chance
to try my best to give them a better life
than we ever had the chance to have
