Inspired by Ningwa99's beautiful 'Alone and Ugly'


I lost him once, I lost him twice

He slipped out of my fingers like grains of rice

And now he's lying on a stiff hospital bed

Beside him, a glass of water and a morsel of bread

Just in case he wakes up

If he ever wakes up

His face so peaceful, contoured by the warm afternoon sun

Even unconscious, his beauty can still stun

I wish I could go back in time and save him from this fate

But now it's beyond too late

I just hope I can see him awake one more time

Tell him that I'm...

Sorry. I'm sorry for everything I've ever done

Sorry for not realizing earlier that he was the one

Sorry for not letting him know that

Tears fell from my eyes, landing on the stark white covers with a splat

I'm sorry, and if you don't forgive me

I won't blame you, I wouldn't forgive me either
