Apologies

These are my apologies,

To the men, women, and children I’ve hurt.

Please gather around closer,

And listen to my apology.

Deep within.

 

I have a brave heart

But my love for you is overbearing.

This is something I cannot continue with.

 

I instruct you to not bury my body.

Please donate it to medical studies.

Let students learn and discover.

 

I have two hearts.

Torn.

They no longer beat in synch.

No longer display rhythm.

This is my last poem.
