I'm Sorry

poem by: Lilith Sunpetal
Written on Aug 31, 2019

I'm sorry for everything,
I stuck around to heal a broken wing
After it healed I stayed
And your patience frayed.

Somehow I developed a crush,
And failed to keep it hush hush.
I'm sorry for causing you harm,
I stuck with you because you were warm.

You don't deserve my baggage,
And I acted like a savage.
I woke up yesterday and felt just fine,
I didn't think it was the end of the line.

I went to take my medication,
And my mood experienced an alteration.
Suddenly I began to cry,
I don't think i was trying to die.

I wanted to be okay,
And my heart dropped and broke like clay.
So i counted the meds as they left the bottle,
One,Two,Three, Four
I’d never taken any more.
But then it spit out two more

Five, and then a sixth
All of the same width.
Then with coffee they went down,
And I began to feel like I was going to drown.

I didn’t know what to do,
So i ran to two
But it was in vain,
And It was too late,
And death was luckily not my fate.
I'M SORRY

Watch me fly, Don't watch me cry. Watch me rise, Don't watch my demise. It cuts me deep to see you there, Won't do anything but stand and stare. The cut expands, When you don't offer me your hands. Cant you see that I'm in pai... Read more
