I'm sorry

 

I’m sorry that I cannot be

the sun for you

because I’m too full of dark

I’m sorry that I’m scared

that you would leave me too

I’m sorry that when I leapt

it wasn’t for you

I’m sorry that when I reached for

the stars they were too hot to hold

and they shattered with my heart

I’m sorry that i’m busy

trying to build a version of me that

I can cheer on as she goes

I’m sorry of saying sorry

for things that spun out of my control

I’m sorry for being lonely

while over there so are you

I’m sorry that my hands are

still too burned to hold yours

because maybe they’d fit perfectly
