Storm
And in the middle
Of my chaos,
Was you..
You were the eye of the raging storm,
The tranquility with soft lullabies and soft caresses.
You were the one that calmed me,
Despite the thunderstorm outbreaks, or the tidal waves that crashed against you,
You stood by me,
The brick wall I never could break,
Couldn’t hurt.
But now,
Now I see what I’ve done,
All the pain and agony i’ve caused you.
I never wanted to hurt you,
But you seemed so strong,
I couldn’t resist but try and break you with my pain,
With my sorrow, with my guilt.
I threw my mistakes at you
like it was a ball soaring through the air,
The mistakes unnoticeable until you really dug in.
I didn’t know, and I still don’t.
I wish I didn’t make the mistakes I did, so you could see me as a better person,
But I’ve been through trial and error,
Though it’s not an excuse.
I know I can’t be forgiven easily,
If ever.
But if there is ever a chance,
Please believe me when I say,
I at least now know,
I’m sorry.
