The Choice That Led to Sorrow

If only I could say it to you face to face
If only I had not been such a disgrace
If only my god was kind to my need
If only there was some form of warning to heed
I can stand here all day diverting the pain
I can point fingers all that I want, but the outcome remains
It was my fault and my fault alone
And the pain is greater than I've ever known
From light to dark in less than a year
With no end seeming to even be near
My only choices are to claw my way out of this abyss
Or to let go, and never experience your kiss
From life to death in less than a day
I did not know that the feelings would stay
Not knowing my place is the worst of it all
But from the very beginning, I was doomed to fall
For if only I could divert this pain
If only the outcome was not the same
Then I could say it to your face
Then I wouldn't be such a disgrace
