We were bonded in birth
As we will be in death
I sealed our fate with a gun --
I took your wardrobe
and buried my past
in your grave --
Made a sacrifice so
I could have another
Chance at life
Struck you silent so I
Could ****** your voice,
Felt no sorrow
When pondering my choice
I laid my debts to rest
With all the ills I faced
Revenge is sweet and
Triumph better -- perhaps
Because I was so bitter
I stole your name
your mansion too: but was it
Really stealing, my dearest love,
When the whole time I was you?
