Virtue
Virtue
Written by Kelly Ann Wilson
Did you think you could save me?
If you stayed healthy, you could heal me?
I was left counting on you.
So, was it a selfish or selfless thing to do?
Was it a crime or a virtue?
I took all that I could take.
Stayed up all night to keep you breathing.
Brought you home from the police station.
I lost myself to care for you.
Was it a cycle or a virtue?
We swore we could beat the odds.
That nothing could break us apart.
That it was you and I against the world,
Just us two.
But was it trauma or a virtue?
