Sitting in the corner of the room Thinking these thoughts left unspoken All of the truth in their lies Each of the hearts to be broken The innocence seen in their eyes Soon to be departing from them Lost in a moment of pure insanity Left out in the past by some whim And now the sorrow will sink in How that love was never really there And the others will walk on their way No second thoughts or a care The souls that were tainted in lust Now coming crawling back to me The truths i had told to them before Are the very ones that they now see And scattering away into the night Carrying new fears upon their backs I have known the way it has always gone For I too made those same tracks And yet I sit in this corner Waiting for the guilty to return And into the fires of temptation Is where they all will burn For I am but a simple messenger Upon my shoulders I can feel sinful weight And within these unwary souls There comes a time for fate And so I depart from this world Realizing how much I could have done Wanting so much to have changed The new lives that have just begun.
Reason for writing:
This is basically about knowing that you could have prevented something bad from happening to a person who means something to you, but then seeing that fate wanted it that way.
