Fault

They ask me how ill I try to reply, but the words Sick enough to die In my head I wonder, when the time is Scared enough to cry They ask me to go I wish to say, I can’t express I want to be here today Watch me please, take care Don’t send me away They tell me to hang Do what you’re told, but the query I want to grow old Waiting for the day, it’s time Don’t watch me grow cold They say it’s ok You will survive, but the darkness Is pulling me in inside At this instant, I see beyond See the light, but I am still alive They say a burden, I wasn’t I want to give thanks, but I can’t Too weak, I sank You worked so hard, sacrificing it was I should have just walked the plank They say deteriorate, problem solved What did I do? I didn’t mean To cause harm to you You say not me, not my fault It’s just a thing, not an assault They say a sacrifice, will be repaid When will you get yours, it’s a bit delayed You’re still suffering, over time It’s gotten worse, just a crime One so good, it isn’t fair They say endure, with love in the air I am the guilt beyond shame Put you through, unselfish game No win here, a grateful heart Significance for me is all you see They say the good, hasn’t much time I’m thankful you’re here My everything, even more than I knew And I want to say, and I will I love you
