Watching me as I fall

Your sorrow breaks you
Watching me as I fall
My abject ambivalence
Dismayed you
My hopes were chained
Against a wall of stone
Disappointed by my failures
You gave everything
Until the end
When I disgraced the name
From the beginning
How could you account for it
I represented you poorly
Failed all
How could you take my pain instead
You are just one spirit, I am legion
Your wings were broken
By my weight, rest and sleep
Don't let it take you
Like it took me without reason
Who am I to blame another
For the sins I committed
For the acts I played
I was the writer, director and actor
Upon my own stage
