The day I hung myself

The things I’m sorry for
not saying I love you enough
for wanting to hear those very same words
spoken from your lips each and every day
I’m sorry for not appreciating you
and for thinking you didn’t care
for pushing you away from me
when all you wanted was to love me
I’m sorry for getting angry with you
and for yelling at you
when you never even raised your voice
no matter how displeased you were
sometimes I treated you badly
but you always loved me just the same
when life wasn’t enough to keep me happy
I put a rope around my neck
I’m sorry the rope didn’t break
because I will never be able to tell you
how much I loved you
