I'm Sorry

These tears that fall tonight are caused by you,
a promise broken no action could ever undo.
This heart that is broken into tiny pieces,
with each cruel word you spoke the pain releases.
This life that will never be quite the same,
is falling apart and you are the only one to blame.

I should have seen it coming by look in your eyes,
but I was too caught up to ever realize

I was the child you had to raise,
I was the heart held out for display,
to show how easily a life can be broken
from damaging words that never should have been spoken.
I am your tapestry with missing thread.
I am your canvas of blood-soaked apology.
I'm sorry you ever met me.

These circles under my eyes are from sleepness nights,
trying to let go of you no matter how my heart fights.
This voice that only whispers now and again,
is broken beyond repair from your greatest sin.

I should have seen it coming by the way you said my name,
and though I said before you were, I feel I am to blame

because I was the music to your evil tune,
I was the scapegoat, and not a moment too soon.
I was the cheap shot to show an innocent life
only able now to focus on the pains and strife.
I am your marionette with fraying strings.
I am the headless doll amongst your playthings.
I'm sorry you ever met me.

Broken life, empty eyes, darkest night, frightened cries;
all alone, nowhere to go, hurting so, now I know

I am the secret you never could tell,
I am the story everyone knows now so well.
And now they will see through your meangingless lies,
and something will be made out of every tear I cried.
I was lost in this world, on my own,
you took advantage, then left me all alone.
I'm sorry I,
I'm sorry I,
I'm sorry I ever met you.

    I love the rhyming. its not so typical on this website and it really keeps my interseted! This is a really sad write. But as a contest critic I think it could have been shortened. It seemed like you were kinda running out of lines or phrases and sometimes the simples phrasings are enough. Otherwise. Good Job!

    Thank you for entering in my contest!

      Well, it was actually more of a song so that is the reason behind the length. Otherwise, I'd agree. Too long! lol Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you liked it.
