Trivial Matters

poem

I’m sorry for my lack
I’m sorry for my failure
I am sorry your great expectations
 exceeded my potential

I’m sorry I wasn’t right
I’m sorry I wasn’t able
I am sorry I wasn’t a renovation
 that was willing to happen

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
was your understanding
 of the man I really am

I’m sorry I was beneath you
I’m not sorry you thought
yourself so far above me
that you despised what I loved

  I loved you
until I was a sorry man

I’m sorry for many things
   but not for everything
I’m not sorry we began
 I’m not sorry for the memories
I’ll never be sorry we broke apart

You are better off without me
 I am happier now you are gone

So please
 stop sending me hate mail
  and move your life along
