Somewhat Sorry Poem by Rachel Henley

The arguement that we threw between us,
lasted much longer than what it was worth.
You walked over me like a welcome mat.
I spoke to you like you were filthy dirt.

We walked in the bitterness and the cold.
I stared at the hand which was mine to hold.
The city felt heavy on my shoulders the whole time.
I couldn't repair the damage with an apology line.

It broke my soul to stare at you from a distance.
My skeleton was upright, but something was missing.
Our love should not have even been considered a price.
That we both paid just to argue on who was right.
The winner of the arguement remains unclear.
But my love for you, as always, has been here.

I would rather be wrong a thousand times.
Than say I was losing you and prove to be right.
It is impossible for me to promise you no more disputes.
But I can promise that my heart, will always belong to you.

Looking back now with a hindered heart and hindsight.
We were both wrong. No one was more right.
We were both wrong to leave it last for far too long.
But both right to remind eachother of our feelings.
Before the other was already too far gone.

As you made your way on the bus. I broke.
My eyes gave way to water, my throat began to choke.
But I will swallow the blame for us both.
If only my pride could drive you back to me.
I swear my shame alone could set you free.

Free from what? To have your heart set on mine.
It is a downward spiral to love me with such devotion.
You do not deserve to live with me on this shipwreck.
Do what I deserve the most and toss me into the abyss of the ocean.
