You fall, and I fall too

You stumble, I stumble as well

Sometimes I hate how it feels

Sometimes I wish that It could be simple

For you, and for me

But sacrifice is everything

You have cried a few times before

But not as much as me

Yet, you are the one who is more hurt

Your sins are not my own

Yet I want to take them to a cliff and throw them far

Far to where they could never touch you

You have made me angry, sad, and hurt

But you had made me happy

I feel content

For if I leave earth the minute I leave this room

I know that I have experience love

And that I never died in vain
