I always thought I knew the right thing to say   but something died in you long ago   your words echo inside   like screams in an empty well   always wondering what I could have done      but I couldn't save you   you have always been my secret regret   your nails dug furrows in my wrist   as you slipped away   a reminder of my failed nobility      you were all I ever wanted      reincarnation - resurrection   call it what you will   if everything I've done could reverse these days what   would you say?   will you forgive me?   am I your sacrifice?      I stand before you like a fallen angel
