                          dear lillian,
                          

                          i'm sorry.
                          

                          i'm sorry i left.
                          

                          i'm sorry i failed you.
                          

                          i'm sorry that everything was my fault.
                          

                          i'd take back everything if i could.
                          

                          i'd return home and hold you if i could.
                          

                          i'd give up everything to go back to what it used to be.
                          

                          but i can't.
                          

                          because you're dead now.
                          

                          and it's my fault.
