tell you how I feel
but I'm afraid
the
words will make it real
I think you will get angry
and then things will get worse
but the silence is deafening
in my private curse
If we are really quiet
and we all pretend
the anger won't go away
the broken hearts won't mend
I am sorry to have hurt you
I am sorry you are down
I'm sorry I can't be more
I'm sorry I make you frown
My heart aches for you
more
than my fractures ever did
I ache for what I can't have
I ache for what I did
I'll pay the price of punishment
til I can't pay any more
I ask for your forgiveness
If it is something you can afford
