Tunneled a path for you

“Fucking say it,” I scream

“Say I’m sorry I fucking hurt you”

“Say it so I can say, “It’s okay, I’m sorry I hurt you too.””

_

But nothing can be said

Passages of time harden that way

_

Right between where we left off and where we never began

_

As if in silence a shape holds on

Like death

But with wounds we wound

And forgiveness a shape our own

_

The unending

_

Say something kind, for all that was love

so that it doesn’t ever turn into hurt

_

But nothing can be said

_

So instead

I say it for you

_

I’m sorry I hurt you

I know

I’m sorry I hurt you too
