Leaky Pen: Poetry

I’m Sorry by Taeryn

Lied
Tied up in knots
should have kept my mouth
shut
silent
then this grave I dug
carved tight and snug
Wouldn’t exist
blistering away my fleshy ideas
fat on ill-gotten trust
And I beg forgiveness
for opening my trap
for lying and asking
to trust me again
Ending up with my
backstabbing you again
I didn’t mean
I swear, I beg
tears dripping down I ask
once more
to forgive is divine
to err is me
And I did err
I did lie
I did betray
I did hurt
I kept silent
Please, please, please
forgive me

I’m sorry
