It is too late

To be sorry

For the comments I made in the past.

Back then,

We both wanted

To help humanity live.

But you

Kept on taking

More than you could handle.

The people obeyed

When you told them

To relinquish their pain,

But they all forgot:

Who would

Take your tears,

Fears,

Pains,

And despair away?

They forgot to,

And you, wanting to be strong for all

Even pushed me,

Your other half,

Away.

I was born to destroy,

Though I had no say.

I would have much preferred

To be made to hug your wounds away.

But, in my anger and sorrow,

I only hurt you

With cruel, now-forgotten words.

I wanted to apologize,

To ask forgiveness

From you, whom I love.

But things

Got out of control,

And before I could,

You took on another weight

That finally left you crushed.

I alone was left

With less power to fight

And with dead words

That burnt a hole in my tongue.

I can't apologize now.

All I can do

Is sit here

And keep him from you.

The days were shared

Are long gone,

But I still cannot

Allow myself to run

From the loved one I harmed.

There is no way that I can

Move on.
