Stars fading,

lost in time.

I would have told you,

but you didn't listen.

For so long,

I wanted to apologise.

No matter how cryptic or vague I may be,

you know my secrets and keep them.

So please let me keep yours.

You don't need to accept my sorry,

but can we at least stay friends?

I'm always alone,

rumours go about beyond the walls.

Intimidation runs in my bloodstream,

so much as when I wake up the first thing I hear is a shrill scream.

I've seen many things,

I've heard many things.

Can you trust me, friend?

Can you forgive me?
