• limp to your home
    the deed is done
    your friend was in danger
    all you did was run

    the guilt that washes over you
    overrules everything you feel
    anything you use to replace it
    slithers away like an eel

    stagger to the liquour cabinet
    drown your sorrows in a glass
    you hear something outside
    suddenly you're face down on the grass

    in that fateful moment
    you think of everything you've done
    destroying people's lives
    all this stops at the click of a gun

    a murmered curse sounds very close
    signal the arrival of your 'friend'
    with betrayal in his eyes
    he siganal your end
