As I sat on the surface of the
stair steps above a horizon of
falling rain, drenched mechanics
and vanished romance, a whirling
chemistry of drowned sounds, I
was beginning to remember the
pain I inflicted upon your world,
the damaged bricks and splintered
vowels, slammed clouds and rammed
doorways, my heart was farther
apart from your kingdom.  

Deep within my veins, there was a
ravaging blazing anger boiling
inside my belly, upturned and
shipwrecked, scorned and salvage,
as I broke down the walls of
your existence.  Smashed liquor
bottles were crowding the
bedroom floor, chipped glass
beneath slit feet, black eyes
over broken nose, busted lip
sinking beyond jammed
shoulders.  

I'm so sorry my precious darling!  
I should've never hurt you in the
dark shadows.  How could I make
you pay the price for my own
shattered soul?  

I never meant to hurt you in
the blackened night and watch
the swollen trees cry in silence
outside my windowpane.  I never
should've blamed you for my own
insecurities and insinuate that you
were running around with your secret
mistresses.  

You were a golden gem and everything
within me crushed your masterpiece.
now as I sit here in solitude, the dusty
air floating in misery, the shifting sun
blinding my eyes, I want you to know
my sweet darling that I apologize for
unleashing chaos upon your light,
suffocating your existence on that
cold December night.
