Analysis of Pardon me - Jaylo Cossa
Pardon me
for my ignorance
or rather my negligence,
Nothing fascinates me no more -:
I seem to protect my energy
more than the ones I love,
I know it'll bring me no harm
but rather harmony -:
Perhaps
one's true enemy is the one
close to his heart;
Right?
_
Pass the light
to those who truly deserve one,
Like Jaylo Cossa -
I'll forever embrace your existence
more than you embrace your scars -:
I fed you so much hope
At least so you can cope
with a belly that is full
from carrying a life -:
Someday you'll birth
a genuine seed,
I hope he feeds
from your deeds
and not mine;
We both know why
Right ?
_
Pardon me
for my ignorance
or rather my negligence,
or perhaps my arrogance -
My ego can get the best of me,
I seem to turn a blind eye
to those I've brought pain;
Being a premature
doesn't mean I have to act this immature,
Right ?
