My Apologies (in advance)

i know as warm as the suns of the west the harm was nothing more it seems to find the right moments in the wrong people (i’m sorry i swear it) She thinks She’s negligent—and i know i can be…                                                   and, by the way, this message is for you,                                                   the artistry you have given me—eternal “thank yous”  was                                                    it “thus far?”  yes, you meant well, and you’re a dear.                                                   i couldn’t have asked for better!   and, yes, i’ll listen to my back curse the uphills                                                   while the million-things-on-my-mind race past you, I could                                                    kill to have that slow! andtheykillandtheykill and I don’t know how to sleep anymore unless you tell me… and damn the Muse that splits my skin! i’d livened the bait—thought i’d been clever and learned that i was the fool this time                       (that i jumped the gun and thought it wise!)                       still—this ain’t the worst, but it ain’t the end… and i’ll remain contrite just the same (but i think that as long as you tell me how to sleep—and you know you’re the cause—i’ll end up yours, make no mistake)
