Faults


Should I be sad or feel sorry 

For the lonely house wife whose husband is six feet under

Even though it wasn't my fault I didn't give him the pain or neediness

Maybe because I didn't show compassion for him that’s why he is gone

What if it were you but it's not me 

And I am not sorry and I don't feel pain 

His leaving does not make me want to cry does not make me want to isolate myself

If anything his death makes me want to live

And I know that’s what he wanted he wanted to move on

 

So is it my faults  that bury him or is it yours
