Excluding

Excluding

i can’t pretend

I wanted to undo my wickedness

only so long ago

i’m guilty, but not alone

forgive never forget

don’t punish the present from the past

i owned a cold heart, but it healed

a mad conscience could never be rational

my demons overruled my mind

left me with nothing

i could never go back

is is the same for you?

i couldn’t apologize anymore than i have

i know, i hurt you

and i couldn’t fathom us apart

you helped me as well

your mind was beautiful, influential

i could never change what happened

but i could make up for it

simply a fresh start and new hellos
