sometimes

you mess up

you don't want to

you don’t intend to

but you do

you mess up

things are bad

because of you

and

you want to heal the rift

you want to make it good

you want to salve the wound

you do

you really do

yet

your deep, incessant fear

the constant worry of your heart

is to have your "Sorry"

collide with their "No"

and all the while, that silence

that desperate silence

threatens
