Heartfelt Apologies

You deserve better,
Better than sprouts of joy and love with roots of poison.
You deserved more than half ass apologies to calm your mind,
Of half thoughts of care,
I gave you half and then I let you go.
And I know it seemed like I was just burning gas on what we could be but I was doing the only good thing Ive ever done.
Letting go of what I need, to do what you deserve. To let you go.
I've got demons that love and hate and scratch at your love,
Constantly getting but never giving.
You deserved better than me and no matter how much I want keep you, I couldn't keep you unloved,
So with aching bones and a broken heart I let you go.
I still cry,
The moon still hears me wish you back.
And the stars ever so gently guide me each day from you.
