Choices

The world turned black, the room turned cold,
Her words grew loud.
Should I try?
Should I hate myself for telling the truth?
Should I have told a lie?

She blamed me without worry,
Her abuse plays on in my mind,
Her words threw me apart
Her words so cruel and unkind

Is the blame really mine?
Did I want her to die?
Did I hand her the pills?
No. I just did not lie.

It is not my fault
It is not my guilt
We are all allowed to make choices,

I made just a simple decision
My choice was not to lie
She made a decision too,
She chose to attempt to die.
