DEEPEST APOLOGIES
30th-April-2002

I'm sorry that when you see me, You feel nothing but disgrace. I'm sorry that your hopes died, In this so ordinary face. I know I never lived up to your expectations, Nor was ever able to handle the right situations. I never did what I was supposed to, But I'm sorry, there's only so far anyone can go. I'm sorry that when you see me, You feel nothing but irritancy. I swear, I promise, I tried, But all you had to deal with was annoyance. I know I could never comfort you, Nor pay back a debt the time it was due. I never was much in the way of support, I'm sorry, but no, this is no foolish retort. I'm sorry that when you see me, You see nothing but a life lost. I'm sorry all I seem to be, Is one great amounting cost. I know I'm far from what you wanted, Nor even that much tainted. I never did things the way I was guided, I'm sorry, I never found someone to confide in. I'm sorry I never had the courage, To free you from this sooner. I love you. I don't really think I was afraid of the pain. In a spur of confidence I knew I could jump the bridge, And in falling down there would be little I could do. Panic maybe, Shed a tear maybe, If I had the time. I promise you though, As a warning, I will always be near. I'm sorry, I love you.
