Old Poetry and Prose

The Word "Sorry"

Why do you pretend to care?

Don't ask me to talk and then slam the door in my face.

I'm a big girl I can take care of myself,

so don't offer to help if it's only half-hearted,

because I don't have time for half-hearted friends,

half- "I care" people in my life.

I figured out to survive so don't become someone I despise.

And while you're surrounding me and my chest hurts cause I can't breathe,

don't pretend to care the next day,

If you can't be there for me 100% then don't expect me to stay

cause I've had my heart ripped out by too many people,

treat me like shit and I'll be done, you know I will.

Cause I'm so sick and tired of depending on friends,

who don't give a damn if it's the end.

Don't look at me with those eyes.

Don't let those words touch your lips.

"I'm sorry-"

Shut up!

Sorry is a word for beggars to speak and idiots to hear,

If you're sorry then show it,

make me believe it,

cause an empty word can't fix a broken heart.

And maybe someday I'll stop accepting those fucking "sorry"s

and make you earn it.
