i apologize

for me, and for you,

and all the clouds in the sky.

i'm sorry for the city's lights,

i'm sorry for the brightness of the night.

i'm sorry you cant sleep,

and i'm sorry about your sheets.

i didn't mean to steal them,

but left alone in your house-

i got scared and took a piece of you.

i'm sorry for everything i never did.

(am i doomed to live in the past?

the regrets i feel are the regrets,

of never taking the time to regret.)

i saw you sitting there,

day after day. 

but one humans warmth can't heat the earth,

and that patch of grass- 

was just as damp and cold as the next one.

and for that, i apologize.
