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.
