I know I really made you mad
And the mess I made was really bad

Everyone makes a mistakes
Mine left me with a heartbreak

What I did seems to near our fate
All I can say is that I wasn’t thinking straight

Now I lie here awake
Hoping that by daybreak

I can muster up the courage to go on
But it hurt too much knowing you might be gone

And I can’t stop thinking back to last Friday
How I had just maybe if I had just stayed then I wouldn’t have to pay

But like a coward, I fled embarrassed and mad
Left sitting here writing about how I am sad

Since that day I have been wishing I could take it all back
So our friendship would still be on track

I had insinuated something that wasn’t true
And I couldn’t live with how I hurt you

I spiraled into depression and fear
Thinking the end of our friendship was near

I tried to apologize and you would have it
Because it wasn’t an apology that fit you one bit

I had to conquer my anxiety and fear
And speak up for you to hear

How much I hate and regret what I did
Because you would never be that kind of kid

You are one of my dearest friends
And I am glad we could make amends

This piece is about a recent event that happened in my life. It really crushed my feelings for a bit. However, I was able to fix what had happened and everything is good now.
