I sat on the seat
I reached for the paper
I gasped in horror
as I grabbed all air

I searched frantically
for that missing piece
But could only find
some rough version of it

I called out for help
Nobody was home
Finally i accepted my fate
No more toilet paper

I thought maybe
I could try
Something different
This time

I told you
I would try
But it turned out
Just the same

Don't forgive me
Stay angry
And I'll
Stay away

I saw
how happy
you were

You couldn't help it
Glowed like a star
Shimmering & twinkling
in the distance

But
All stars
Lose their light
With time

Forgive my impatience

Instead of sipping pure lemons

I sip the sweetness of ice lemonade

It’s a summer heat now

Overly hot and dry

I am the one who sips

While you only perspire

Sorry you’re melting

But you shouldn’t have started the fire

For it is Nick

I spent all of my savings
Time passed and so did the money
I must be wise now
But I enjoyed every moment
I enjoyed spending every dollar
I spent all of my savings

I did not mean to bring him with me,
But he spoke wonders to my soul.
It was a savory moment on my lips,
And I do not regret that last slice.
It can sit forever on my hips.

Before I go, I would like to mention I forgot to do the dishes,

For that large pile only amplified my inaction.

Sorry, you of all people should know the trifles I face at my age,

Responsibilities must take a backseat to fun since

You're only young once.

We were as one
until the time had come for you to dissapear
the time where we must say goodbye
and not shed a tear

for we knew this was coming
but never knew we'd approach it,
but now we are stuck, and must let it happen

our final day has came
it has began to rain
and now I am going insane

Forgive me
for I have stolen your car
The car that you loved
and cared for so dearly
I am sorry for what I have done,
but the leathery seats were so inviting
The long, adventurous rides at night were well worth it
So hey at least one of us put it to use

I'm sorry I scratched your favorite record,
the grooves in the vinyl were making such beautiful music,

and the needle moving along them seemed so graceful,

I thought I might add one of my own,

but all I did was cause it to skip, and skip, and skip

I stared at my bed
My longing grew
But I turned away

I stared at my homework
Which never seemed to stop
And looked away in search
Of a deeper meaning
For the circles beneath my eyes

Forgive me
My sweet bed
For I realized
That I needed to sacrifice
What I longed for
In order to graduate

I thought
We were meant to be
Our destinies twined
When our eyes first met in a 7/11

I did everything
To shield you
From the world I knew
So ugly and red

Forgive me
I saw how she hurt and broke you
I only wanted to protect you
But now your tears stain blue
And our hands stain red

I'm sorry
I didn't stop to consider

The long hours at the kitchen table,
The strands of hair in disarray across the sink

or the silent episodes of anxiety

The crickets were there though
Too bad they can't tell stories

Oh well,
At least I slept soundly.

Yesterday I was rushing to the University to take my final exam.

I sort of ended up running over your dog Sam.
Sorry, but he was in my way.

Seaaca tried, but he never

At least that's what I heard.

Oh well, there's always more dogs to buy.
But hey, at least I made it on time!

Forgive me,
For I have shaved your cat 'till she was bald
I saw she looked a bit hot so I decided to do her a favor
Now I don't recognize her
But I know I'm not the only one
So forgive me,
Now you have a hairless cat
Thank god it's just hair
For It'll be
back soon

Pardon my lack of responsibility,
My couch just looked so comfy.
O, people do work on time?
How can they resist the siren call of their pillows?
And what is a poem without some rhymes?

Sorry I would but my pillow is calling me,

What’s that? You wanted more?

Goodnight.

I crashed the car that you saved up five years to buy.

I am sorry, but I was running late and it was raining.

Don't be mad, it was only a crash, and besides, the car wasn't that nice to begin with.

This is just to say
I ate all of your food

It made my day

Forgive me,You probably wanted it
But the way you left it totally flaunted it

I was left gratified

I'm sorry I took the last spot on the bus when I could have walked home

It was simply too hot today

You might have needed that spot since your house is far far away

Although the ride was short, it was nice not having to strain my legs after a long day of sitting in chairs at school.

It's ok though, everyone can use a little exercise right?

I didn't do the homework you probably constructed for so long.

You were an open book full with chapters of adventures and happiness.

Now, you have closed your book and you still want  to be read but people read you in a different way and your title has turned them away.

Now, you are just an old book on the top of the shelf waiting to be read again.

Oops, forgive me for overspilling to your enemies.

They were present and I was bored,

The children enjoyed the tea for it was luring with its sweet scent.

But thank you for sharing with me.

My friend, your spirit was joyus to those who loved you,

Never imagined that they would turn to put needles in your back and hurt you.

Am I right or wrong?

Sorry, but I need my shoulder dry for tonight.

Lonely, empty, and depressed,

Spending hours looking at yourself in the mirror, never properly dressed.

Veins open to the wind calling Death to come and collect

He is around the corner apologizing in advance.

I hope you dont think its too late for me to repent

Oops, forgive me for I never meant to make you upset.

Im sorry i spent all the money we had been saving for vacation.

I had walked into Sephora and i needed more makeup for Bora Bora.

I tried to resist but the saleswoman  continued to insist.

I continued to spend more and more until the card would not allow it anymore.

Im terribly sorry but don't say a peep

because at least now my eyeliner will always be on fleek.

I took all the money in your bank account
I needed some change, I hope its not a bother

Oh and your credit cards are maxed out, how strange , yeah  those pesky plastics, you probably don't need them , I'm sure you have good credit.

Your spending records are so lavish as of late, you must have good taste.

Im sure its nothing , money cant buy happiness anyways, But it can buy six jet skis, you should try them sometime.

Im off to Vegas , so dreamy and rich , something you are no longer.

Buy a ticket, meet me there.

You were spreading
lies and rumors
through your tablet.

Because

Once before their demise One last farewell to your first choice shoes
I wish you could've seen them
