This is Just to Say
This is just to say
When the sun rises in the East
And the faint siren awakens me
This is when I feel most alive,
As well as dread.
Forgive me
Mother.
I find comfort in your loving nest.
Allow your ball of fire
To throw me out of distress,
And wake completely in your glory.
This is just to say
I read your email
But didn’t respond.
Forgive me,
I had better things to do.
This is just to say
Your arrogant composure, complete disregard for valid arguments, and self-absorbed personality
Irritates me
Forgive me
For not suppressing my urge
To beat you with my binder.
This is just to say
I taunt your stupid dog
Forgive me
She told me to.
This is just to say
I cried when I heart that you said you loved me
Forgive me
I called you out on your bull shit.
This is just to say
You make me smile
Perhaps it’s who you are
Perhaps it’s your style
Forgive me, sweet man
You’re always on my mind
One day you’ll wake to realize
It has been me the whole time.
