I'm sorry


I'm sorry I'm sorry that I can't take it back I'm sorry I wasted both our lives I'm sorry we didn't get the ending We both were praying for I'm sorry I couldn't save you from the future I'm sorry I never saw your scars Your bruises Under your toothy little smile That hid them all too well I'm sorry none of us tried to help But we were too young to understand how I'm sorry I'm forgetting you But it's hard to face your past When it's staring right at you Or perhaps doesn't know at all For I'm sorry, I don't know if you're alive or dead I'm sorry if they hurt you And I wasn't there in the end I failed you I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so....sorry I never knew your number And I forgot to ask The day you left my life But I wish you called me your sister these days
