Any Last Words?

I'm sorry

For all the mistakes, 

all the errors, 

the mishaps, and the wrongs

For everything I've ever done 

that hurt you, 

for the times I made you feel

you were not enough

Forgive me 

For the moments 

I dismissed your needs 

For the times 

I made you feel 

unworthy of love 

and affection 

You should know, 

you deserve better 

Better than what I've given you 

so far

Better than anything 

you've ever asked for

My heart aches
Thinking 

how much I've made you cry 

Remembering 

I made you feel 

it was your fault (it wasn't)

It's not your fault 

Please stop punishing 

yourself 

Pain won't be 

your redemption 

...At least this is what I hoped my late father would say...
