Murder
Did she commit
Upon my dreams.
Guilty?
Did she commit
That evil deed?
Confess!
Must I admit
That she was me?
Atone.
Will life permit
Me to be free
If I say ten thousand thousand mea culpas
If I say ten thousand thousand mea culpas
If I say ten thousand thousand mea culpas
Every single day for all eternity?
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry
Please forgive me
I promise that next time
I’ll let you be
