error

i could say
you were a mistake

but i don't know
how you got there

i could claim
you were karma

but i've never been
that bad

i could forget
that you happened

but i can't ignore
the pain inside

i could declare
that i'm cured

but i'll never be
that sure

instead i'll whisper
to the sun

that i'll come back
to me again

and hope
in my mind

that the sickness stays away

(for me to fight another day)
