Dear Lefty

Dear Lefty,
I'm sorry that I took it out on you,
Dear Lefty,
Is it alright between us two?
Dear Lefty,
I'm sorry that it was you who took the blame.
Dear Lefty,
I'm sorry that you wept red tears in bearing all my shame.


Dear Lefty,
I'm sorry that you're the one who got hurt.
Dear Lefty,
I'm sorry that I have to hide you beneath my shirt.
Dear Lefty,
I miss your beauty, before the darkness came.
Dear Lefty,
I'm sorry that your innocence went away, when Righty laid its claim.


Dear Lefty,
I'm sorry for what I did to you, truly, I am.
Dear Lefty,
My apology is sincere, it's really not a scam.
Dear Lefty,
I wish that I could take all of it back.
Dear Lefty,
I'm sorry for tainting your sweet innocence black.
 

Dear Lefty,
It's not that you weren't as good as Righty, I swear.
Dear Lefty,
I promise, you're still special, and I still care.
Dear Lefty,
I've just always been more cunning with my right.
Maybe if I had used you instead I'd truly see the light.
 

Dear Lefty,
I know that it'll never truly be alright.
But I promise that healing is in sight.
Dear Lefty,
Would you be willing to help me now?
Dear Lefty,
I'm looking to heal wounds, like you, can you show me how?
 

Dear Lefty,
I admire you, you're the strongest one I know.
Dear Lefty,
I swear my love is more than a show.
Dear Lefty,
I promise a better life for you, truly, I do.
Dear Lefty,
A life that will make you just as good as new.
 

Dear Lefty,
Would you like that? I truly hope you will.
Dear Lefty,
You deserve every bit of happiness's fill.
Dear Lefty,
They say the prettiest angels have scars.
I guess that makes you just as gorgeous as the stars.
