A Letter To Remembered Joy
So what do I do now?
Do I pray?
Do I cry?
Or do I hide from the monsters that are inside?
If I stood on my head,
Stripped butt-naked in the middle of Time Square
Screaming, "I'm Sorry!"
As loud as I could it still wouldn't be enough
How do I tell the parnets of my best friend that I'm sorry for killing their son?
Words wouldn't cover something that bad I know you must be aberrant
At times I wish I could of traded places with you....
I thought about you the other day,
And I started to think about the things that we used to do
So instead if writing
"I'm sorry about what happened"
60,000 times on a sheet of notebook paper
I decided to write you a letter to remembered joy to help you remember the good stuff instead of the bad
I hope this gives you some comfort
And one day you can start to forgive me
So here I go.............
