It's a choice, not a child. Why should anyone care? Whether I go through with this Or fix it my own way, It's only some cells- They mean nothing to me. It's not like I mean it; I don't want this position. That's why I must do this; It's my final decision. What do I care about the after effects? These so-called "risks" and "cautions" They aren't true; They can't happen-not to me anyway. What I'm doing is right, At least for today. But what happens now that I hear no cry? No humming, no laughing, just silence. Silence. It's too much to bear. I can't think; I can't see. Where has my life gone? Speaking of going, where is that man? The one who would be there forever; The one who would hold me up & keep me from falling. Falling. It's too much to bear. That man is gone; they're all gone-I'm all alone. Alone. It's too much to bear. What I did was wrong; wrong forever. Forever. I see now what happens when I hear no cry, No humming, no laughing, just silence. Silence. What they say about "risks," It's most definitely true. There's no turning back, no second chances. What do I care about the after-effects? I care the world about the after-effects. I wish I could change it- Could turn back time. I can't handle the pain. But I made the choice-the final decision. Oh, God, why must I be in this position? It's not like I meant to; it was the only way. Oh, God, now I see what You were trying to say. You tried to tell me to stop; to listen. But I didn't listen for "I had no time." I chose to fix it my own way, But fix it I didn't. Now all I feel is the remorse, The pain, The anguish. I can't take this much longer, I live in guilt and in loss, In regret and dismay. I feel so useless, like some kind of zombie, Just walking around. No purpose, no meaning, Just walking around. But why should anyone care? Because, I tell you, I know the remorse, The pain, The anguish. And I know it all too well. If only I'd have known that day, That day I changed two lives forever, That day I killed two souls. They were only some cells, But they were living cells, And they meant everything to me. If only I'd have known, She was a child, not a choice. Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly. |
