Forgive me?
Hiding my eyes
I appear sightless
But the view glares back at me
Right into my soul
His eyes peer into confusion
He questions why
His finger trembling as he points to the sky
He says, “Accountable.”
Meek excuses
I pour forth my lifestory
But the hurt, bleeding,
It blinds me.
He shakes his head
His tears began flowing
Too late, much too late
He vanishes as I awake
But my eyes were opened all the while
Stark, clear vision
Where did he go?
Why did he leave?
I bring my hands up, seeking
Only to see them covered in blood
I begin to drown in it
But I couldn’t move
Or did I not want to move?
O little brother, I have failed you
I couldn’t save you
And yet I watched
The blame is upon me
Nothing can bring you back now
