My apology is not enough
To start to fix what I have broken -
Every word poured out in love
Is coated with a silent poison.

I must admit my mind is flawed,
My shame is proof enough of this.
I walk full stride towards the jaws
Of death, I’m welcomed with a kiss.

I clothe myself in lengths of rope,
A knotted stomach’s shrine on show.
With sweet relief in morbid hope
Weeds are rid and flowers grow.

The blame is only mine to take,
Loving me, your one mistake.
