compromise.

there's compromise
deep in her eyes
would self-deceit count as lies
is the only redemption 100 good-byes?
what is she willing to give?
everything but the will to live?
would she do what she did?
or only what he said?
where will she draw the line?
how far is she inclined?
will she heed the signs
no matter what she finds?
it's never too late to go
no matter what time will show
is the ultimate blow
denying what she knows?
friends warn her of the worst
that her identity will be housed in a hearse
but are they too terse
and inflicting upon her a curse?
ask yourself the question
not susceptible to suggestion
that is the only path to redemption
there is no exception.
