Tears and Apologies


I stood in the corner - stunned;
Fiery eyes - all on me.
What with the screaming lungs and watery eyes -
Rants were all paraded.

Tried to open my mouth for words;
But even the sound rolled back.
Feeling the heat and hurt of your words,
There's nothing but tears and apologies.

Could've run to your arms;
Embraced you, like the good old days.
But something is pulling me back - hard;
Resigning to watch you paint me like the night's horrible thief.

With your coldest stares -
My feet and hands are bound, all tied up.
No words are spoken;
No explanation is suffice.

Please look straight to my eyes again;
I am neither a monster nor a beast.
I am still the same l
ittle girl you sheltered and loved;
Only now, I am a grown up.

Just like what you taught me;
I own up to my actions.
Not completely regretting what I cannot undo -
I was just trying to be kind.

Sorry for picking the wounds;
For hurting you in my growing up.
For taking the wheels all by myself.
I pray that soon, my apologies will be accepted.
