Forgive me for thinking that when you make a promise that it was made to be kept.
Forgive me for thinking that you'd be there every time she wept.
Forgive me for thinking that true love comes first before anything else and that when your love needs you to hold her because she's in pain that it doesn't matter what else is going on that you'll be there for her.
Forgive me for thinking that wiping her tears away and holding her close came before anything else.
Forgive me for thinking that you were always going to be there when her blood was spilled and she needed protecting from her own hands.
Forgive me for thinking that you'd stop the blade on her hips and the wounds that kissed her lips.
Forgive me for thinking you'd be there to drive her to the hospital before her life faded away.
Forgive me for thinking that you'd be there before the day came where she uttered her last words and breathed her last breath.
Forgive me for thinking that you'd always be there to protect her..
But I guess she should have always known that she would never always be protected but she was too naive to see the truth.
She created you because she wanted to be held, she wanted to scream out for help, to protect her from herself but now it's too late.
