| honey, it's not you

i'm sorry that i cut you off
when you were trying to
convince me of my goodness
and goodness of all,
of golds sparkling in random places
and of blooming lilacs

i'm sorry that i interrupt you
every time you proceed to form
that three words magic

i'm sorry that i check
your pills instead of asking you
if you took them

i'm sorry that you don't ask me
how i am doing just to
avoid upsetting me
and picking another fight

i'm sorry that i leave you
with your mouth overflowing
with the words i wish
i could believe

the fault is mine |
