Melanie
I'm sorry for the things I said behind your back,
For letting the wrong people shape me.
Your heart was pure, while theirs was full of resentment,
And I chose them, even though I knew better.
I envied you—the kindness, the attention,
Things I couldn't seem to get on my own.
I did things I shouldn't have,
Just to feel seen, just to belong.
You never had to prove yourself.
I see that now, too late.
You stayed by me when others left,
And when I turned my back on you,
I only ended up alone.
I lost everything chasing the wrong crowd,
The ones who smiled when I did wrong.
And now, years later, I'm left with the pain
of losing you and not knowing how to fix it.
You forgave me, but I didn't understand.
I regret not seeing how much you gave.
Now I carry the weight of what I did,
And I hope it's enough to make things right.
