and if the last word

and if the last word will be a flower or a tear will not matter
I 'll await the verdict without fear,
I already know I’m guilty
guilty with few mitigating circumstances
guilty
guilty of having caused the greatest pain
the one of the greatest absence
the greatest absence
the last word

and if the last word will be a flower
or a tear will not matter  
the pain will be the same
the wound will heal, yes
but the scar will mark the time remaining
from here to eternity
