I cannot help the apprehension
My lack of appreciation
The path of broken shells will lead back to me
Thin veneers of a once vital organ
I can only reprimand myself so many times
For what I've done to you.
I apologize
For my lack of concern
So many sleepless nights not taken
Into deeper consideration
I can only regret not being able to
Make you understand.
Somehow,
I do love you for all you are.
There is no comprehensible explanation
You've shown me hope and devotion
Only to be devoured in vain
For this I am truly sorry.
I am sorry.
