A Heart's Confession

A Heart's Confession
I am sorry for what I had to do
I am sorry I was never complete
And how you will never be
Always cracking, crumbling.
I am sorry for being persistent,
Keeping you in
Gut grabbing pain.
Will you ever forgive me
for not being around
For leaving so soon
For being deadly.
I hope, one day.
And even though I will never come back
I hope the muscle keeping
You alive is good.
Little one,
You will be stronger
From keeping you in pain,
And not being whole,
But I will never
Apologize for the scar I leave behind, reminding you
Everyday.
We will never be whole
And leaving was the best I could do
Because you did not have a chance with me
Even though they wanted
Us to work.
