I'm sorry

I wanted to listen; to hear your song,
I tried so hard to understand,

I was confused, i didn't think,
its my mistake I'm sorry.

I'm sorry you had to witness things, no-one else should see,

I'm sorry you were beaten and bruised,
each night since you were three.

I'm sorry your mum was a an alcoholic,
drinking more each day.

I'm sorry I didn't listen sooner,
to what you had to say.

I'm sorry I failed see that all,
was not as well as it should be.

But most of all I'm guilty,
If only I'd thought of you,
then you might still be here today.
