I'm Sorry

[maybetomorrow]

Hand me your shattered heart

I can't fix it

But I will let every sharp, broken piece

Stab me and cause the pain

I see in your face.

 

Let me cry your tears

I won't promise I'll be able to cease

Their steady flow

But I will keep the anguish from burning in your eyes

Any longer.

 

Trust me with your aching soul

The damage is unrepairable

I know

 

But let the torture continue

Deep inside of me

Instead.

 

You can't.

 

I'm left here

Helplessly watching you

Watch your life

Get torn apart

 

I sometimes wonder

I sometimes doubt you.

 

I'm scared to death

You'll lose yourself

In this mess

 

And all I have for you

Is my eternal, walk through hell love.

And the crook of my arm

Where you can try to sleep your uneasy slumber.

 

Bottom line is,

The other day

Was a cloudy one

And

 

You pointed at your own chest

Asked me if I could help

You "there".

 

I was forced to

Weakly shake my head

 

No.

 

All I could articualte

Was a feeble and yet so honest

Apology.

 

Believe me

When I say

I'm so very sorry.

 

 

*this all came pouring out of me today. My sister is going through a divorce and this are, more or less, my feelings at the moment.*
