apology

You know I meant
to love you
When I
carved into your heart-
But an amateur,
Tangled
in sutures,
I watched you bleed out.
Oh, what a mess
I made
Feeling things
out loud.
The blood was slick,
My fingers slipped,
And slit
right through my vow.
But darling
please believe me
When I'm
lying at unrest-
One last promise
That I bled
us parting
Till my death.
