Sorry
that I've blocked your calls
for months on end
but I still listen to the voicemails
that you send.

Sorry
that sometimes I'm mean,
treating you like jewelry
I've used to numb the pain
and all of the grief.

Sorry
that I change my mind
so frequently each day,
never meaning to use you
or pull you every which way.

Sorry
that I still know your birthday,
that my favorite songs became
your favorites too,
and that just won't fade away.

Sorry
that I couldn't be better for you
and that I still can't believe
anyone could ever
be in love with me.

Sorry
everything wasn't better
and I was so naive and blind
to the way we were
always leaving each other behind.

Sorry
that I run when things are good
and stay when things are bad,
I guess I never understood
what we had.

Sorry
that I flinch every time
you lay your eyes on me
because you do it like no one else—
like I'm someone you can please.

Sorry
that I broke your heart,
my ignorance strikes again
because things didn't get better
and you couldn't see the end.

Sorry
that I couldn't love you
or be better for you, baby
but someone will love you,
it just won't be me.
I really appreciate comments and feedback! :)

I've always wanted community,
But it was mostly because I wanted you,
I turned myself inside out,
It had a real evil turn-about,
There's no way to think the same,
After a little trip into your head,
Haunting little thoughts wrapped in rope,
Keeps me far away from bed,
It really seems you alone are the reason,
I stopped stabbing the good guy in my mind,
Just for laughter and clout,
They were never sympathetic for the joker,
Yet, you were, guess that was the first red flag,
You were real pretty,
You are real scarry,
You wanted to fly, wings like a fairy's,
Your promise of safety was a tale,
You told to spin a great big web,
Three days,
I'll never think the same.
If the tie is too tight, get it off your neck.
