A World Once Starry

When I look back,

I see how everything was bad.

When I try to compare,

I see the life I never had.

Lost in the lies,

That I had considered the truth.

But then I was brought out of the dark,

And gave away my youth.

I worked and tried my best,

To protect her and I.

At a young age,

I learned not to let anyone see me cry.

I fought for her innocence,

And as far as I know, I have won.

But along the way I became angry,

Because she had something I want.

I turned into something,

A monster I had known before.

I wanted to stop,

But I had no key to this locked door.

I thought that she deserved it,

I locked any doubt I had in a vault.

But inside I knew,

That none of this was her fault.

I was jealous of everything she had,

Her ignorance of our situation.

Though I tried to control myself,

There was just too much temptation.

Still, I have my reasons,

And no regrets.

Because of me,

She will stand up to every threat.

Because of me,

She will fight.

Over time,

Everything will turn out right.

I don't regret doing things

That must be done.

Just remember all of the good things,

While I'm gone.

But even so,

I brought darkness

To a world

Once starry.

Please, know that I am sorry..
