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.
