A Different Twist

I failed you didn’t I
When you turned to me for help
Expected me to stand in front
And I failed you

Hope can be a burden
You put the full weight of it on me
And I crumbled
Like a quicksand like a sinkhole
Sucking you down
Deeper into the twilight

Maybe it would have been different
If I were the anchor
Stopping you from drifting further
Not the deceptive wind
Who blew you aimlessly away

You were free
Only to be caged again
You were running
Towards the wrong direction
And I failed you

And with that
The rage grew bigger
To conceal the guilt
To place the blame
Just so the finger pointed away
The bitterness shadowed the reality

Forgive me precious
For I have failed you
Forgive me princess
So I can let you go
