I'm sorry


I didn't know

that forever

was temporary


I just couldn't see

the inevitable end

behind your

wide smile


I'm sorry


I didn't know

'i love you'

was conditional


a lie spoken

in the heat

of a moment

you never felt


I'm sorry


I didn't know

my heart was so unwanted

in the palm of your hands


I blamed you

for the heartbreak

but the truth is

I threw myself in too deep

always hoping you'd follow
