Richard Hao

I'm Sorry

I’m sorry that I let you down.

It’s just that

I didn’t think,

I didn’t know

About how highly

You held me in your eyes.

When you saw me

Lost and alone,

Unable to reach my dreams,

You were hurt so much.

You knew

I could do it.

But I didn’t.

And your trust

Was shattered,

And your love,

Lost.
