Martin's POV on Rose's death when going South

I wish I could lay the blame on another

But I know it is my fault

It was my fault that the world lost, lost something special

Maybe it was not my own hands that ended her

But it was my actions that brought her there, to her death

Every day I know this and hate myself for it

I wish I could end it, but I have a destiny, a fate

I must keep going or be responsible for more deaths

Maybe through my future actions I will be forgiven

For ending something that wasn't meant to be ended just yet

I hope that I will, but I know even if I am forgiven

I can't, won't ever forgiven myself

I know what I did and it will always be with me

Always by my side, whispering, tugging

I killed Rose and I will be justly punished for it my whole life
