Forgive Me Harry Casseus My apologies worn My lies became beyond overwhelming I promised you to be better But it wasn’t such a promising effort I watched you study people I never pictured you to be collective I solemnly swore to protect you All in all it was me I was protecting

We fought; It was never physical But the wounds were visible Forgive me; I didn’t mean to leave you in a condition so critical I’m selfish; I even talked to myself when I used to visit you Something I’ve ruminated; but never guessed that would get rid of you. How pitiful; I even let my mother down And blamed my insecurities on not having my brothers ‘round

I’ve crippled our world By hanging on to what’s repugnant Now To be honest, I see them as puppets now. 53
