Two Days Too Late
Failure:
I am such an idiot.
I am such a wuss.
I allowed myself to fail
Without a second glance.
Excuses:
I forgot it all.
I never gave it a second thought.
Told myself I would do it,
And now it's too late to be done.
Problems:
I messed up somebody's life.
I forgot what I promised I would do.
I'm two days too late,
It's all over now.
Finished:
What will I do now?
I guess that remains to be seen.
I will not give in to excuses.
I will take my punishment
Whatever it may be.
Apologies:
It's too late to say it.
I failed, I messed up,
I don't deserve to be forgiven,
But I'm sorry anyway.
Can you even look at me now?
I don't think I deserve your trust.
