Dear Love,

I'm sorry that your fathers a dick

and you can't stay away.

I'm sorry that there's nothing I can do

and nothing I can change.

I'm sorry you have to hear his threats

and keep them to yourself.

I'm sorry he beat you until you broke

and I wasn't there to save you.

I'm sorry he threatened to do things to you

and your mom and me.

I'm sorry that I could only give you my bedroom floor

and a shoulder to cry on.

I'm sorry that you have to go back

and suffer again.

I'm so sorry,

do you hear me,

I'm so sorry,

and I will try to fight with you.

I'm so sorry that you have to make decisions

and then live with them.

I'm just so sorry

for something I couldn't have changed

or stopped.

I'm just sorry

for you.
