An Unfinished Apology

I Remember

I remember everything

Before it all started

Before we were...confused, I guess

Sure, we weren't the coolest group

But it was enough for us

Or I guess not

Red nails that liked to write notes behind your back,

Missing razors from his sharpeners,

A smile dotted with pink quickly turned red

A butterfly scared of its own reflection cut its wings

And I guess, the one that started it

The octopus that drowned in its ink

And it pulled all of the others down with them
