I can’t remember when br I felt anything for myself br Except for revulsion and contempt; br I haven’t been worried for years br And anxious for months br On my own account, br The sum of my existence br Is a small amount. br br When the balance is due, br When everything is settled br And every vital decision decided, br I need to know br That you made it through this world br With your soul and psyche whole, br That you found the happiness br I was unable to give you.
