Breathe…
Tell me to breathe
Your solemn words
My childish fight
Now I stand with
My plaintive cry
Rising bleakness
Shadowing despair
To pull the dawn
And break the day
I wish I knew
Why I’m afraid
And I’m ashamed
Of my short words
My temper finds
Where patience fails
I could have spent
This time today
At your side
Encased in your pride
Instead I stand
Out in the snow
Cold and cursing
My tainted stance
My broken words
And I bring you down
When you should be laughing
Time and again
I shed this skin
And draw this blood
Against good will
Silence the laughter
That I should embrace
Each time I cry
“Please, one more chance...”
Apologize
Then I do it again
Some day I swear
I’ll change this fault
Erase this day
And bring you laughter
You are my will
I’ll be your pride
Someday, you’ll see
Until then…
I’m sorry.
