This is how I apologize -
I killed you with my bare hands.
For someone so small,
so seemingly fragile.
I beat and beat and beat you to a bloody pulp.
Pushed you into the ground.
made you wheeze and choke and gasp until there was no breath left.
Blood on your teeth
Blood in your mouth
Staining the dirt
Covered your shirt
I am sorry
I am sorry
I am so sorry.
Sorry I broke your nose on purpose.
Sorry you could stand and walk away like there was any hurt here.
Sorry I'd probably do it again and again and again.
I am sorry you took everything that was good..
and shook and shook and shook
Until you turned purple-blue
