Prolonging Pain
Sometimes…
Kindness can prolong pain.
Sometimes…
Kindness can make fate become even more tragic.
Although we like to believe we can protect others from wrath.
That would create consequences in itself.
So that when we look back-
It will be like we allowed weeds to grow for too long.
So that through the foliage, we are unable to see whether we made a mistake.
A mistake…
That was not the cause of death.
A mistake…
That allows their last words to be a fog.
