sorry for the weight I’ve been,
For hiding scars beneath my skin.
For every smile that was a lie,
For every time I said “I’m fine.”
I never meant to cause you pain,
To leave you standing in the rain.
But silence grew too loud to bear,
And shadows pulled me everywhere.
I tried to fight, I tried to stay,
But hope kept slipping day by day.
The light I chased was never near,
It dimmed with every passing year.
I’m sorry for the nights you cried,
For all the truths I kept inside.
For broken dreams I could not mend,
For stories left without an end.
I wish you knew the love I gave,
It lingers still beyond the grave.
Though I am gone, please understand,
My heart was fragile, not my hand.
Forgive the way I disappeared,
Forgive the silence you still hear.
Forgive the words I could not say,
Forgive the girl who walked away.
Remember not the pain I caused,
But moments where the world just paused.
The laughter shared, the gentle song,
The fleeting times we both belonged.
I leave this letter, ink and tears,
A final gift across the years.
Not anger, hate, nor bitter blame,
Just sorrow carved into my name.
And if you read these lines tonight,
Know I was weary of the fight.
I loved you more than I could show,
I’m sorry — that is all I know.
