I apologized because

I had nothing to lose

And because

I knew you wanted to hear it

Not because

I’m responsible for it

But because

I’m sorry you had to endure it

And that can be both sincere

And completely unfulfilling

All at the same time

So chew chew chew

Til ultimately you choose

To see me as a rich man’s shoe

New and nice and not nearly

As comfortable as the thought

Not nearly

As comfortable as the thought
