And if I ever cross your mind now, I hope the thought of me fills your mouth with the taste of regret. I hope you try to swallow it down, and it gets stuck in your throat.

Forgiveness is another way of saying that something didn't happen, and I refuse to give it to you. If I have to drag the weight of all the worst things you ever did, behind me everywhere I go, then you do, too.

In my dreams, I apologize to everyone I meet. Instead of introducing myself, I apologize for not knowing why I am alive. I am sorry. I am sorry. I apologize. In real life, oddly enough, when I am fully awake and out and about, if I catch someone's eye, I quickly look away. Perhaps this too is a form of apology.
