Dear heart,

I am sorry for breaking you again

I’m sorry for giving you a false alarm

For not being able to protect you the way I should,

For being blindfolded when it comes to you

I should’ve known better, but I didn’t

I apologize for giving you too much freedom

For not setting any boundaries when necessesary

I could’ve done better, but I didn’t

I’m sorry for letting them take advantage of you

I’m sorry for allowing another heartache

For allowing the wrong people to break you

I’m sorry for neglecting you

For closing my eyes when I should’ve kept them wide open

For running away when you needed me

For not taking good care of you

For being silent when I should’ve said the right words

For pleasing them at your expense

I’m sorry for all these sleepless nights

For not being cautious enough

Now you’re screaming and I can’t help it

All your pieces are shattered

You’re falling apart and I can’t do anything

I can only feel the pain you’re going through

And all I can do is sit by your side and weep with you

I’m sorry for taking you for granted

For letting them take you for granted

I’m terribly sorry for disappointing you

~
