I’m sorry

I’m sorry
For the cards
I dealt you
The nightmare
You deemed me to be
I breath in oxygen
You said I didn’t deserve
Though left with little choice
I crawl through darkness
Over shards of
Blood splattered glass
Just as you made me do
Blood seeping
Through each
Layer of flesh
Eaten by guilt
And the shame
You say is all mine

I’m sorry
For the life
You lived
Because of me
You can rest
Knowing I’m gone
I’m no longer
Taking your oxygen
My scars never healed
I couldn’t stem the bleed
Or…
Did I really want to?
You forced death upon me
Owning no blame or shame
You handed me the damn blade
Instructing me as second time
But…
You think I’m really gone?
You’ll see me each time you close your eyes
