I should have known,

I should have noticed.

I should have seen,

The pleading on your face.

I should have comforted,

I should have listened.

I should have seen,

Your aching heart.

I should have sat quietly,

I should have kept my mouth shut.

I should have seen,

Your crumbling mind.

I shouldn't have shunned,

I shouldn't have ignored.

I shouldn't have cast aside,

Your dieing persistence.

I messed up.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

Please.
