Sorry For
all the angers i sent into the world
all the injustices i never got to stop
all the sorry i never spent
not spending more time ogling the cloud
never wearing rain for a shroud
all the times between forefinger and thumb
i have firmly grasped my tongue
and gently held my words
wore my heart upon my sleeve
cause everything inside told it to leave
always jumping out
---------------------------jumped up
while everyone else
never dripped dew from a summer petal
Never smiled as if i meant it
Me and the box have been outside
having a laugh about your thoughts
I missed the echo's return
That this was tooooooooooooooooooooooooo loooooooooooooooooong
if my eyes open tomorrow
That i never followed the mist home
Held fire and ice too long
Jumping rather than walking
all the tears i wasn't there to wipe away
Missing the dipping of the day both ways
never holding an embrace long enough
not being able to touch a shadow
laughing when others sombred silence
