Description
this is the way i say, "i told you so"this is the way i say, "how dare you"
this is the way i say, "you were wrong"
with my arms around you
and your head on my shoulder
and your shoulder to my cheek
i can feel the breaths you dont deserve to breathe
and somehow
we breathe at the same time
complimenting the others rising and falling shoulders
inhale
and exhale
supplement on the edge of a sigh
and the beginning of convulsion
we're shaking because we looked in the mirror
and saw something we didnt like
having always been looking into it
taking advantage of the day we had
now the day has gone
the damage done
the veil rent in two
the earth shaken
and the rocks cry out
because nobody would
beauty will come
im sorry for sorrow
and im forgiving forgiveness
and hating love
wanting independence
from myself
but now the road has been taken
and the could of dust
that was once at your heels
is tangling in your hair
and clogging your airways
and tearing your eyes
and you cry harder
with the adrenaline gone
your heels are bleeding
and lungs collapse
asthmatic panting
you ran around
the world backwards
just to get here
when all you had to do
was look ahead
and step twice
i laid my coat down
for you my lady
over the puddle
of an ocean that was far too grand
but somehow it floated there
waiting for you
knowing it could take it
knowing you would stand this way
but you turned back
and spun the globe with your feet
and didnt let me help you
walk on water
avoiding my chivalry
you realise now it was a pace away
im sorry for this embrace
that braces us together
together in our sorrow
and creation of regret
this is how i say i told you so
this is how i say i wish i wasnt right
im sorry for the sins that youve created
ignoring still, the sins of mine
im sorry

I love this dude, I can picture the look in someone's face, just all hurt and bitter inside saying this

This is good, a bit long, I think you could make at least two poems out of this.
