I'm sorry for the toxicity
I let rupture inside you.
The poison
tastes like bile.

My heart finds your value
in the empty silence
I'm forced to breathe.

I apologise for thinking
friendship was what
you can give me
instead of it being
something that I could give you.

The regret made a home in me
because I understand now,
lost time
never returns.
