Sorry for Something

by madison-freestone

Lately you just look at me- like I'm the worst. And that sucks cuz the only approval I ever wanted was yours. All I do lately is make you so angry, So come on please tell me, what am I missing? Did I just forget something? Or have I fucked up everything? Oh, I hate when you're mad at me. It doesn't lose it's affect because you're angry perpetually. Trying so hard to please, I'm begging you for mercy. Your "dead to me" looks hurt enough to kill me. You know you've done some bad things too. Much worse than me, and I still love you. When I asked for you not to be so disappointed in me, You just laughed bitterly. I must pay a million times over for one tiny slip, a lapse, a small sin. When I said I was on the edge you called me a liar- again. I swear to God I'm trying. May he strike me if I'm lying. Today I didn't even want to come home. I'm working myself to the bone- And for nothing. What have I done to make you distrust me so? Maybe I could make you stop hating me if I could know- Why? Was there ever so desperate a soul as I? Groveling over the smallest faults on my knees. Doing everything I can to make you forgive me- For whatever I've done. The flames of your distaste burns hotter than the sun. Sorry I'm a disappointment. All those awful things you said, I'll just assume you didn't mean it.
