Something Simple You Should Know By Now
What will you do when the anesthesia goes away?
Would you remember what it felt like, what we realized that day?
Our minds caught fire and our thoughts washed away.
Each other, our saviors from fading to grey.
From our faults we learned guilt doesn't linger.
Mistakes and lies are the trigger to your gun, let it slip and we're done.
Maybe I should have let go, but for a moment I forgot who you were.
I forgot the promise I intended to keep, only blood reminds me I failed.
There's no undo button inviting us to try again, but can we pretend that this went differently?
That you're not in the hospital fighting for life, while I sit in the bedroom referring to the knife.
The secrets burn like dry ice in my heart, they're yearning to be let out.
A personal sacrifice.
Mistakes I keep hidden always come back.
Reoccurring thoughts I have to back-track.
They always lead me here, a decision between two paths.
Which ever on you chose, you can never go back.
