Eclipse 2

Many times I wish it were possible

To wipe a brush over all the mistakes I'd missed

With my apologies.

You took me as I was back then,

Broken, damaged

That's why I feel insignificant now.

I know you thought

That you could break through

The hard crust to my sensitive heart,

Now the guilt is unbearable

Every time you make me cry

Because I know that the fault is all mine.

Perhaps it was I who made your mind impure,

Dabbed at your child-like smile

With cunning fingers,

You don't want to forgive me

You just want to pull me under with you,

And I'd let you

It's what I deserve,

If I could.

In reality, I failed both ways;

I failed to love you truly

And I failed to trick you thoroughly

My knees start to shake

I could topple over and break

You could even reach out and catch me

But I would never be the same.

He is an eclipse

My life is under his shadow

So if the moon wanes or not

I'll still belong to him.
