TELL HER FOR ME
I want to
let her know that I
mean her no harm
it was not
as if
I tried
to snatch away at her happiness
I want her to know that I made no
plan to strip away
her care
her life
that requires
forward motion
I want to let her know
that I am
no creature
self-absorbed,
but a liver
of
my own existence
a mere partner
in a story
unfolding
I want to let her know that I
could not return her
favor
even if I tried
The giving is
beyond me
I want to let her know that
somewhere
tucked in my
own
happiness is my
deepest regret
