I'm Sorry

First day of school

You were there

Friendly enough

But everyone stopped to stare

I tried and tried

One day I fell

The next I'd rise above

Always crying "Just don't tell"

Then at last

I let them win

Cruel words, harsh actions

After all I just gave in.

He broke my heart

Time and again

Through it all

You were my friend

I tried so hard

To make it work

Really, though

I was a jerk

I let you go

Let you walk home

The turbulence of a broken heart

That's where I left you alone.

We were perfect

In every possible way

Fairy tale stories

Strewn on every page

Then reality struck

Tore at my heart

One thing lead to another

Finally we fell apart

I can't fix this

What's done is done

Maybe I stopped fighting

Maybe you'll never run.
