Sorry!

You never saw my lips move
Never heard the words I said
And yet I stand aloof
Wishing I could do it all over again
I wish I could take back
A lot of what I said
Even though the odds were stacked
And say nicer things instead
Feelings of regret flood
My mind, heart, body, and soul
There is use in crying over spilled blood
Even though it was my heart you stole
But that does not negate
Everything I wrote against you
In fact it aggravates
And all of the regrets accrue
You will never read this
And I’m not sure I want you to
I’m scared of the power of the fist
Because I deserve every punch from you
Regardless of whether you played
With my fragile, glass heart
Regardless of whether I should have stayed
So committed to not being apart
I have a duty as a man
To treat a woman correctly
But, Brittany, goddamn
I have tried so ineptly
And here I am with words
Words that cannot express
The sorrow that now occurs
My mind is vexed
My heart burns with sorrow
For ought not to dishonor a woman
Regardless of what she does
To me or rather to men
There is no need to ask “Why?” or “Because”?
I am in the wrong
Regardless of what I do or say
All I can say is, “so long”
And just get up on my way
