DarkPoetry -|- Aethelwyne -|- I could...

I could...

Im running down a path
I never thought I'd trod
My heart racing with my mind
Trying to leave everything behind
I could have avoided this
I could have been stronger
I could still be with you
I could still have my friends
I could still have my family
I could have run to you
And begged you to help me stand
I didnt
So now im here losing myself
Trying to figure out where im going
My way getting darker with every step
I realize
I could have done worse
I could have never met you
I could have never kissed you
I could have never felt you in my arms
I could have never watched you sleep
I could have watched them suffer
I could have let them die
I could have taken him from her
I could have killed them all
I could have given up
And surrendered to the pain deep within my soul
I didnt

Wow. That has power. The final "I could have's" are very well thought out and worded.
