You deserve better

You deserve the world

I'm sorry im not always there for you

im sorry im not always attentive of what you say

im sorry i dont acknowledge your cries for help

im sorry i drown your words in liquor

im sorry i call you names

im sorry i wound you

im sorry i abondoned you

im sorry i tuned you out completely

I know i have work to do

I know i have to look for you now

And i will

I'll find you

Because I know you

I know what makes you happy

I know what makes you sad

I know you

And I love you

We'll be okay.

love poems
