im sorry i tore you down on all those days you were just trying to build
yourself back up,
im sorry i blamed you for other people falling out of love with you,
im sorry i painted you to look like your own worst nightmare,
and blamed you for hiding from your reflection.
im sorry i ripped away your childhood
and calling it growing up,
im sorry that i taught you that you cannot take a break from being strong without being weak,
im sorry i sold your favorite memories for drug induced hazes,
and that the real world soaked into this cavern of a mind you've built for yourself,
im sorry i could not protect you but most of all
i am sorry that i did not take care of you
i hope one day when your scars heal you'll forgive me
and carry on knowing
that i forgive you
