a symphony of stars, a cacophony of wishes.

82 | i am sorry

I'm sorry
for everything I've
ever had the courage
to get done

I'm sorry
for the failed promises
for the broken vows
and the passive oaths

I'm sorry
if I hadn't been there
when you need me
—when you're alone

I'm sorry
for the hurt I've caused
for the lies I've told
and the lives I destroyed

I'm sorry
that I am not
what I say I am
—for being a fraud

I'm sorry
for the life I've lived
for the choices I made
and the roads I took

I'm sorry
if I am never awake
in the long nights
with you on the road
towards our end

For all my wrongs
that I didn't correct
For our hearts
that I didn't protect

For all the people
I promised I'd become
But didn't

I'm sorry
