How Much

How much is a life worth
As it suffers in the hands of others
An accident they say
More like careless decisions
That change the course of our lives
Forever
And you’re slapped on the back of the hand
With the guilt of a son growing up without a father
But that’s not enough
Is this a joke
These years won’t cure
The hearts you broke
But what is enough
No amount of time will bring him back
And make us whole
And make things the way
They were before

Burn

You once told me you never loved me
You twisted the words like a knife
Then we continued on like it never happened
Living a fantasy life
I never asked myself if I wanted this
But my options were so very few
I continued in my ignorance
Because I only wanted you
You once told me you loved someone else
Many years in the past
You put her feelings over mine
Because you thought we wouldn’t last
I was in the dark as you reconnected
Your heart began to yearn
And when I read what you had said
I only felt the burn
