Worse Than Murder

Dark spaces, closing in on me

As I realize this could have never happened

I could have stopped this

If I would have spoken up

He might not have died

I let an innocent man be hung

He was found by the true murderer

By his best friend

So why didn't I stop his death

Afraid of the real murderer

Who might kill me if I tell the truth

Or worrying they might not believe me

Or because I could have put my friend in harm's way

Whatever the reason

I knew it was just an excuse

I should have said something

Because I feel like I did the murder

He was blamed for

In all sense,

I'm a murderer
