west side story

i'm sorry i caused you fear. i'm sorry that when i was four i told you your legs were fat. i'm sorry i threw a shoe at you last summer, and i'm sorry i wrecked your car. i'm sorry i flushed your earring down the toilet. i'm sorry i thought you were okay when you really couldn't stop crying. i'm sorry i push you away. i'm sorry you had to bandage me up. i'm sorry i drank too much that night and i'm sorry i lied.

a little piece of me died last night when she told me what you used to do.
you just seemed so strong, so together.
you never falter.
only when i'm not around.
and i'm sorry for making you doubt your ability.
west side story.
