Apology by Mainon A Schwartz I am so sorry that I was not there to keep you from plunging headlong into misery, from coating yourself so thickly with decrepitude that you forgot it could be stripped away.
I blame myself for being unable to sense that you were drowning, swallowing great hemlock-laced draughts of despair even as you smiled and laughed at yourself in crowded rooms.
There were gashes below the waterline, and I alone should have known to dive beneath the surface to save you from this sinking. 04/26/2004 Posted on 04/26/2004 Copyright © 2024 Mainon A Schwartz
