My quest for meaning is not lost

I will find the reason

I will avenge him

I swear I will do so no matter the cost

My son was once upon a time a saint

Raised a family

Lived his dream.

How great is the weight of one's mistakes?

If you know them as good

He is a good son

He's always been that way

Why should everything he's done suffer under a mistake?

Should I suffer under the weight of

My son's mistake?

I stand there as they scrub his face from the wall

He's enemy number one

Months after his death

And not one single sympathy call

I swear I never counted the cost

A dangerous path my thoughts crossed

I had a son

I taught a son

What I thought was gained, turned out to be a loss.
