Farewell (My Apologies)

an old one from 2004. Oh, the drama.

I've never really cared what happens,
'cause to me it's all the same.
There are things from which
you cannot hide,
and they all end in pain.

But I'm sorry that I hurt you.
I'm sorry that you cried.
I'm sorry that I thought
I could do good for once,
'cause I failed and you paid the price.

And I'm so damn sorry.
Goodbye.

This is a fine poem, reminds me a bit of Jealous Guy by John Lennon, it has the same power and simplicity, good work.

there must be something universal about apologies like this
