I wrote this in my head
as I walked along the beach today
Shedding a tear with each step,
While trying to pretend to passersby that I’m ok
“Just another brokenhearted pedestrian,”
I almost heard them say
I’m sorry
that I couldn’t follow your instructions,
that I needed you to make me smile
I’m sorry
that I was too weak, too poor, too demanding
that I cried in front of you,
that I let you see that other side of me
the one that’s not sexy or happy
I’m sorry
that I needed you to stand by me,
that my life got so messy
I’m sorry
that I couldn’t fix our love,
that I couldn’t hold on,
that I walked away from the pieces left of us.
I’m sorry
that I made you my strength
that I made of you a home
that I found shelter in your arms
And I’m sorry now that you’re alone,
that our love just wasn’t enough.
😦
