If you were to ask me
Be the one to catch me, before i take the fall
You'd be the only one waiting, afterall
For whence i open my mouth and
Spill a sea of pills tinged with reddened liquor
I think you'd listen, then
If i took advice from any voice, it'd say 'give up'
But then again the only advice i ever took was the gurgles from down below
Onwards, outwards, suck inwards and hollow
If i gouged the gurgles, they'd say 'continue'
They'd count on me as i count every zero
They'd hold onto my head while i clutch the bottle
But, you'd catch me.
Incase i couldn't catch me
You'd advise me to give up
But i'd have fallen from your grasp
Onwards, downwards, i'd ignore the numbers from the liquor
For they'd spill from my mouth ever quicker
I'd have lost count, either way.
Hey, what did you want to say?
I'm sorry. I hate those words. Everyone uses them in the wrong way, but in the end, you can’t help but use them anyway. Three years ago, on this day, she said, “I'm sorry,” but I know she didn't mean it. Just like always, I had let her walk all over me for years, but that day, she did something I could never forgive her for. I'm sorry
I'm sorry, You see
To my three beautiful boys
I'm sorry, you see
Mum's not quite been the same lately
But I promise I'm getting better
I owe it to both you and me
To my family and friends
I'm sorry, you see
If I've ignored calls and texts
I know it's only because you care for me
But some days it's been a struggle just to function and think lately
To anyone who relates to this
I'm sorry, you see
But I hope you understand even the strongest struggle sometimes
Be it anyone, even you or me
IM sorry is what you said when you made me cry.
IM SORRY is what you said when you hit me and
blacked my eye.
IM SORRY is what you said when you punched
me in the head.
IM SORRY is what you said when you saw me in
that hospital bed.
IM SORRY is what you said when you realised
my pain.
IM SORRY is what you said when you hit me once
AGAIN.
IM SORRY IS WHAT YOU SAID WHEN YOU DROVE ME
OVER THE TOP.
BUT IM NOT SORRY I LEFT YOU TO MAKE THE ABUSE STOP....
As I reach my hand twords the light, I see you. I feel you. You must see me too, my love.
Its almost as if your still here.
You we're the one person that mde me feel, the one person I could rely on when I was in need.
And I killed you.
I shot you.
I shot and killed the one person who could make me feel like an actual person.
My dear Rim, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
When you called me,
I knew I’d have to tell you this time
I wanted you there
Looking me in my ing eyes
When I told you what you did
But you already knew
So you told me to spit it out
And all you could say was
Im sorry
“Im a bad person
Im sorry
Are you ok?”
So I said yes.
Because I was sorry too
Sorry I met you
Sorry I let you
Violate me
I was sorry that I let myself hope
You could actually be
Sorry
We used to hold hands in public all the time,
not so much now.
You sometimes try holding my hand
out in the open.
I feel dorky with your hand in mine – sorry.
I hate the thought that those that pass-by
see us as two cute oldies.
Cute was never the self-image I saw in my future.
I thought I would be forever a tough-nut,
keeping my cocksure swagger well oiled,
not this,
not downcast and grumbling like this.
When you first left, I was broken into pieces.
Had no happiness couldn’t even think of a future.
I sat out on the wooden rocking chair on rainy days;
Waiting for you to come running back to sit with me.
Mindlessly staring at the door for weeks on end.
Just wishing, to see your face at least once again.
The last words I said were a bit too harsh;
Now that I see time spent can’t be brought back.
The pain that I have inflicted cannot be changed.
My dear, it feels as if three summers already came.
Maybe one day will meet again if we do I hope;
You can forgive me for all that has been said.
I´m sorry brother
I see you fighting
I see your battles
I see you trying
Even through your pain
you are smiling
As time went on
His condition got worse
His body began to quake
His hand began to shake
His voice began to break
The news was hard for me to hear
Reality hit me hard
The end was so near
The thought of it was hard for me to grapple
I´m sorry to say brother
you have lost your battle
Close your eyes
You did your best
But it is time for you to rest
We are all happy that you tried
But I´m sorry brother
Its time to say goodbye
Your presence is valued,
Your soul is divine,
I’m sorry I lost you,
I’ve been so unkind,
I’ve left you empty,
Silenced your cries,
Broke your spirit,
Kept tears in your eyes,
Searching for your worth,
You exhausted your mind,
Searching for happiness,
No joy did you find,
Invisible you became,,
Slowly started to decay,
Out of sight I pushed you,
Until your hope ran away,
Questioning your life,
Every breath brought you pain,
Dreading another day,
All alone you went insane,
I’m sorry for going blind,
I’m sorry for letting go,
I’m sorry for going deaf,
I’m sorry for pushing you so low,
I didn’t hear your desperate pleas,
I didn’t see your broken eyes,
I didn’t pick up the pieces of your heart,
I didn’t touch the truth disguised with lies,
I hold my head a little lower,
Forever will I carry shame,
Whispers torment me,
Disgusted by who I became,
Just to get one moment to hold you,
Caress your face and dry your eyes,
Dance to your favorite songs,
Under hot sunny skies,
My numb hands would hold yours,
I’d make a new start,
Meeting you where you hurt,
In my life's story, you'd be the main part.
What was I thinking
I should have prepared
Offbeat was my blinking
It’s clear, I don’t care
I’m only a fraud
Incompetent fake
An average facade
Even that isn’t great
Unfortunate victims
Who saw false potential
It seems that I’ve tricked them
With phony credentials
Make no mistake
This is not a confession
I, too, took the bait
Subconscious deception
Im sorry that im gone,
And nothing is the same,
Im sorry all your left with,
Is a grave that bears my name.
Im sorry the road claimed my life,
And claimed me from you too,
Im sorry i cant be there for you,
And help you make it through.
Im sorry dreams of my passing,
Keep you from your sleep,
Im sorry i missed out on my grandsons,
But their memories I will keep.
I’m Sorry
By treading on the emotions of another, daily,
And later uttering the words “I’m Sorry”
We have made it no more than our get out of jail free card
Tom
God I am sorry
I am done
I can no longer run
And I put the bullet in the gun
So let me pull the trigger
Mom I am sorry
I cannot continue to fade
Look at the scars I have made
I can not release the blade
So let me sketch, like a true artist
Dad I am sorry
This isn't my will
But every little pill
Reminds me I do not have to feel
An I have a chance to escape
Sister I am sorry
I just could not cope
And I lost all hope
I know, I should've ignored the rope
But I finally have my head held high
Brother I am sorry
I guess I did not find my call
But when I stood high on the wall
All I could think, was should I fall
And if I do, will I fly
Best friend I am so very sorry
I hope you continue
Not for me, but for you
Because I know what you can do
And unlike me the sky is no limitation, for what you can be
the wind is blowing,
my blood is flowing,
the thoughts of u are in my head,
trying to get out of this bed,
u made me crazy, thinking of how i made u sick,
the wrong i've done, in two im gonna split,
i need to show u, that ive changed,
there is a price i have to pay,
your heart is filled with hate and disgrace,
i lied to u, but im going to make ur pain fly away,
show u a way, that i am the same,
the little girl that was ur angel,
the little girl that was ur best freind, ur daughter..
