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..
