The Written Apology


I’m sorry, you know

This is hard for me to say

You loved me for something

That I’m not today

So I’m sorry for the hurt I caused

The disappointment on your eyes

The way I disregard things

Is an attitude you despise

But I have to come to terms

And you need to understand

That I’m not somebody wonderful

And when difficulty came, I ran

I’m just a normal human being

With nothing special to be

I’ve given up hope and lost my drive

To be something other than ordinary me

So I’m sorry for the lack of spark

For the disappointment that I am

I only express my feelings through literary work

A method of expression you don’t understand

And it was hard but I’ve said sorry

And now I hope that you’ll forgive

Because even though I’m nothing now

Without your love I don’t think I could live
