The Sincere Apology
Hear me now as I tell you what I did,
what I should have never done.
I left you standing there with a cloud above your head,
drenching you in sorrow,
with no words or contact of comfort.
Ferocity you tried to tame,
but as a result all you heard were lame excuses.
Didn't realize I was not worthy of your tears
till they burnt my skin so hot.
I overlooked your fear; saw it so inane.
Forgot you existed, when you needed me the most.
Invisible you became to my haughty eye.
The world walked out, so did I.
As you fell, I did not offer my hand.
My friend, your hand outstretched,
mine found my dark pocket and hid.
You tried to speak, I heard you not;
yet, interrupted with my own version.
Went away, came back.
All has been derailed.
This is what I should have done,
and will do from now on,
because it's only fair to you.
When you were sad, when you cried,
I should have hugged you, told you it would be alright.
Tell you the truth.
A tissue always at hand, not in my pocket,
for when tears pour down your face
I could clean them up; keep you from harm's way.
Held your hand, taken it in mine
to pull you out of the slump,
the morose hole.
Listened to you at all cost
I do not care if this does not rhyme,
Fingers crossed you didn't think this was a waste.
Fill the gap.
This time around, I'll hold on forever tight,
never let go.
I love you, friend.
