I saw your face

inside the fire

I believed you

I did not see

Too blind

Too kind

Too late

I remember

what you said

I remember

what I gave

I remember

what you took

I carried the blade

because anger had weight

I gave it your name

I gave it your face

I carried the wound

through every night

I carry the blade

The blade carries me

I carry the wound

The wound carries me

I carry your name

Your name carries me

You took from me

I take from you

You took from me

I take from you

Then who is free?

Who is free?

If I hurt you

does it leave me?

If you hurt too

do I become whole?

If I make you carry it

do I become free?

No.

Maybe I was blind

Maybe I wanted

to believe

Maybe I opened the door

Maybe you walked through it

My blindness was mine

What you did

was yours

Mine

Yours

Eye for an eye

Mind for a mind

How much of me

do I leave behind?

How much of me

do I leave behind?

I held the sword

to end the war

The sword became

the war

I held the sword

to end the war

The sword became

the war

I remember

I refuse

I remain

I remember

I refuse

I remain

Not yours

Not anymore

I don't forgive you

I don't avenge you

I leave you there

I leave you there

The blade carried me

Not anymore

I remain
