Apology
I wonder how much it'd take
Just to look back on today
And erase everything I did say
I'd willingly pay any cost
To throw away today's loss
To undo these stupid words
So that nobody would get hurt
As I remember everything I said
As my words torture my own head
A tear or two streams down my face
I'll grab the razor just in case
"No," I whisper as they hit the ground
Here I am, screaming, yet not making a sound
I just want to forget that I exist
After all, it's pretty clear I wouldn't be missed
I feel like my words could kill an army
I believe everything I touch dies before me
Why can't I be like everyone else?
Why do I resort to the friend on my shelf?
It's sad how "perfect" is all they see
This whole poem was selfish of me
I guess I'm not good with apologies
I'm dying and crying because
I'm sorry
