I’ll step into the role you drew, The shadow in your scene, If being the villain helps you heal From all that might have been. I’ll trade my voice for stillness now, A debt paid out in breath, To give your story's bitter end A clean and quiet death. No haunting thoughts, no looking back, No words to bridge the sea— The final gift I give to you Is losing all of me.

A Silent Sacrifice
I’ll step into the role you drew, The shadow in your scene, If being the villain helps you heal From all that might have been. I’ll trade my voice for stillness now, A debt paid out in breath, To give your story's bitter end A clean and quiet death. No haunting thoughts, no looking back, No words to bridge the sea— The final gift I give to you Is losing all of me.
