Apology

I'm sorry for all the lies,
I'm sorry for all the tears,
I'm sorry for all the burns,
And the fact I wasn't there.

I'm sorry for the dark,
I'm sorry for all the blood,
I'm sorry for all the pain,
And my not being strong enough.

I'm sorry for all the blame,
I'm sorry for all the hate,
I'm sorry for all my empty promises,
And the broken you I made.

I'm sorry for all your sadness,
I'm sorry I had to scream,
I'm sorry for your fractured soul,
And all the hurt you had to endure.

I'm sorry you had to die,
I'm sorry I made you slip,
I'm sorry I could see,
All the grief you lived in.

If you can forgive me,
I'll say I won't do it again,
But don't forgive, 'cause that's a lie,
And I can't help myself.
