sorry won't unbreak the broken,
won't undo what has been destroyed,
won't bring back what has been lost.
sorry won't make things alright so you know, don't bother.
leave things as it is,
give it the space that it needs.
it was your fault, you are to blame
things will never, ever be the same.
when regrets eat you up,
know that it is the broken that bleeds.
when your dreams stop being dreams,
remember that you're the reason i couldn't leave.
does it hurt?
do you cry?
it doesn't matter.
you didn't see me die.
it was the darkness that embraced me,
my demons that kept me afloat
gently reminding that you may be gone
but i have not lost this fight i fought.
for you, for you
who walked away without a glance,
who came back for another chance,
just like that.
take your sorry, take it all
take it away,
it will not break my fall.
it will not unbreak me.
it will not make me whole.
don't bother me with your sorry.
leave me be.
as you have left me all those years ago,
please don't bind me again with my memory of you.
