Gratiam Perditam

If I could do it again,
If I could change it all…
You were my brother, you were my friend.
It was my fault, I stood and watched you fall.

I failed you -
If I just said it, would you return?
It should have been different, it shouldn't have been a ruse.
I was to teach, you were to learn.

We came to fire,
I heard you scream -
I was never enough; perhaps I am the liar.
Now I see, we were always the broken team.

I loved you,
Don't do this.
I smote you -
I had to.

Thank you for reading.
