I’ve made a mistake
I can't erase
I’ve lost all judgment
I’ve lost all faith
I don’t know what to do

kneeling on the pavement
hands covered in blood
that is not my own

tears cascading to the ground
enough to drown a soul
though this one is already dead

I’ve made a mistake
I can't erase
I’ve lost all judgment
I’ve lost all faith
I don’t know what to do

brushing away tears
blood stains my cheek
creating patterns with
the black eyeliner already there

lifting up the broken body
the body I broke; the body I killed
its lifeless black eyes
staring right at me

I’ve made a mistake
I can't erase
I’ve lost all judgment
I’ve lost all faith
I don’t know what to do

wrapping your body in the cloth
so I don’t have to see you like this
blood and bruises
tears and pain

I can't keep you like this
if I can't have you
no one can

I’ve made a mistake
I can't erase
I’ve lost all judgment
I’ve lost all faith
I don’t know what to do

getting the fire started
sitting and watching you burn
your black eyes no longer stare

all evidence of my error
blowing into the sky
floating in an ominous
black cloud of fear

I’ve made a mistake
I can't erase
I’ve lost all judgment
I’ve lost all faith
I don’t know what to do

I loved you so much
but you didn’t love me back
you didn’t see the pain you caused

for your ignorance, you had to pay
living without your haunting presence
is better than living and knowing
I cannot have you love

I’ve made a mistake
I can't erase
I’ve lost all judgment
I’ve lost all faith
I don’t know what to do
