I never took a moment to think from the eyewitness of the other
Took every jab as an insult, every act to avoid me, permanence
Yet when I viewed burned remains of my life, I've wondered
Why would someone who hates me give all that he was able
Why should he cry at the sins of his hands, if innocent
I burned, for my opportunities lost to redeem a father
My indignant response, screams to a voice, insults
Never sent me away for words I felt a need to say
I wish I could embrace him now but I can't
I am paralyzed as my future looms
For my life of flesh and blood
Soon withers with my doom
Life is meant for all, I have lost my chance
No matter my ignorance or innocence
I lingered in hubris but I was wrong
Without salvation or redemption
I see it now, very clearly
I feel it to depths and beyond
Looking back with hope
Mingled with regret
