the i'm sorry poem

i'm sorry that i snore.
don't blame me,
blame my mother or father.
heredity.
the alignment of my nose.
i'm sorry, that i'm late,
and that i forgot your birthday
again.
our anniversary.
or that i forgot once
more to close the gate.
the dog will come back
at some point.
i promise you.
i'm sorry for being so
forgetful, but the clocks will turn,
the calendar
will circle back
to the same day.
i'll have another chance
at pleasing you,
if you let me.
i'm sorry for all the things
i've said,
or haven't said.
or done, or haven't done.
believe me, i'm sorry.
it's exhausting being with you,
oops,
i'm sorry for admitting
that too.
