I always thought I knew the right thing to say

but something died in you long ago

your words echo inside

like screams in an empty well

always wondering what I could have done



but I couldn't save you

you have always been my secret regret

your nails dug furrows in my wrist

as you slipped away

a reminder of my failed nobility



you were all I ever wanted



reincarnation - resurrection

call it what you will

if everything I've done could reverse these days what

would you say?

will you forgive me?

am I your sacrifice?



I stand before you like a fallen angel
