perhaps an apology is due

If you'd been wondering how I was doing,
or thinking about me instead of him,
and all of this was not just a delusion
in my self absorbed trends.
If all of this were true and not denial
but for my lack of confidence and pride;
if I just had a single ounce of courage in me,
perhaps a stem of change could turn my tide?

I feel my sanity has abandoned me...
because I truly wasn't being fair to you, dear,
that game was just me moving pieces,
but you weren't even there.
And now I feel appalling...
like I've fallen in the stink, unaware,
and all these poor souls around me
must leave or kindly grin and bear.

But still you smile,
a warmth in your words is all I see,
and that's all I've ever asked
and that's all I've received.

(And I thank you.)
