Penitence

Some time has passed and these wounds have scarred Leaving traces of my remorse How did you think we would react? To you being gone and never coming back The feelings inside me have brewed Are filling me, regret consumes I would've faced your demons with you But how can I when I'm dealing with mine too? How could you leave so easily? I stayed strong for you, now who's left for me? So tired and weak could hardly speak Yet I was there through everything How could you accept this defeat? An army of two wasn't enough To face this Thermopylae of demons Return with my shield, you on top of yours I really thought it would've been me first You chose that path, which was hard to take To follow you would be a mistake This road to hell won't bring an end to this sadness This ways only regret No words could save you No words could set me free From this guilt and pain I let you down From this guilt and pain I let you down How could you leave so easily? I stayed strong for you, now who's left for me? So tired and weak could hardly speak Yet I was there through everything How could you accept this defeat? You fought for so long, why couldn't you hold on? F*ck Penitence Consumes me
