what more do you want from me? 

some sort of apology? 

well i promise that forgiveness is the most you'll get. 

and what i demand of you is to put up or shut up.

so make your decision, 

but remember-you can't kill us all. 

i know you don't know what you say

but i don't feel any safer from you. 

hate is too easy and we'll both find a way to be right.

no matter how far a stretch. 

and even now i've all but forgotten what we're fighting for. 

to end something or to begin it?

i don't even know why i care to continue. 

old habits die hard i guess. but we don't.

and the threats are still made. 

i'll kill you. even though turning away seems safer.

i want to be in the middle. 

i want to go for the jugular. but i don't remember why. 

was it to start something or to end it? 

i know why i continue. i do it all for them. 

for her i can be an influence and for them a backbone. 

to end the old and begin a new age of compromise and clear thinking.
