How to say I\u2019m sorry<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

biting my lips, blinking sleepless eyes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

they itch and sting with fear and foreboding;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

twitches in my chest, mad butterflies<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

fluttering their crazy \u201chello\u2019s\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

in my veins,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

with gritting teeth, and swooning heart<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

the shake in my knees<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

that I feel every time<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I see I have to confess<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

All those are<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

small pebbles<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

compared to the huge abyss<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I see<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

in my feet, I can\u2019t cross the crevice<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

running in my mind<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

and see the dumb perspective,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

the loony alphabet of misery,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

explaining all the reasons why<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

this heart won\u2019t run on water.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I love this pink champagne<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

and the bubbles<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

going on and off,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

not saying \u201csorry\u201d, or \u201cforgive me\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pink champagne is my excuse<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

to find a better use<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

to poetry<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

than writing manuals on<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

How to say \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
