My greatest creations
My greatest crime
To bring you two here
To do your time
You’re all I see
Beauty, love, and joy
Pure excellence
Please forgive me

The hopes I had
Were bigger then me
The dreams I dreamt
Will never be
This house is broken
The foundation sunk
No insulation
From words spoken

The lesson I fear
To live is to fail
To wither and wither
Until you are frail
Then you will die
With nothing in hand
Wondering, moaning
Why did I try?
