Forgive


It took a long time to even write this 
cause the feeling inside
I tried to fight it. 
I was insecure cause I knew you would never like what I would try to say 
you would never hear it,
our relationship was beyond disgraced
so i inscribe on the 8 by 11 page with a pen 
all the times I remember back when
 it was me you and the crew just sitting chilling
making jokes in front of the booth 
making you laugh, the thing I was good at,
 even in school 
 then something happened, I guess I started getting distracted
 now you no longer laughing, 
perfect world started cracking
You close the door and won't let me back in 
we started arguing and started
fighting
seems like the crack kept widening
 no longer feeling like Zeus, but more like Poseidon
dwelling in the depths of the emotional spectrum 
no heaven just hell, no hint of fun
 I lashed out, though it was regretted as soon as done
heart crushed like pottery words I said was like an inverse lottery 
brought more pain than joy it was a highway robbery
Those crying eyes, I brought you and your family so much pain
 I'm sorry, my immaturity pushed you into a different lane
 forgive
me
