Burned Up Butterflies

I'm sorry I couldn't be strong for you. I'm sorry I lie. I'm sorry I don't trust anyone. I'm sorry I get in the way. I'm sorry I irritate you. I'm sorry I'm unhappy. I'm sorry I'm hypocritical when I tell you to stay strong. I'm sorry I'm envious when I see you with her. I'm sorry I want you. I'm sorry I break.
Sorry I'm fragile
And resentful
And selfish.
I'm sorry I don't believe in love. I'm sorry for every bitter sarcastic remark, for every tear you wiped off my face, for every time I stained your shirt with emotion-filled saltwater and runny mascara. I'm sorry I can't be good enough. I'm sorry I eat. I'm sorry I hurt myself and slaughter your butterflies. I'm sorry I don't ask you for help. I'm sorry I over think things. Sorry for everything I overanalyze. I'm sorry I care so much. I'm sorry I worry.

I wish I was different. I wish I could change for you. I wish I was better. I'm sorry that I'm not.

I hope you can forgive me somehow.
