My Bad - A Poem

this one was based on a story i'm writing and personal experience at the same time

Just like a spider

Spinning its web

Bittersweet memories

Circle my head

Back when we had riches

Of happier days

Back before I burned those bridges

And let them go to waste

I swear this always happens

I pretend I’m out of luck

Play the victim like I don’t put glue

On people’s shoes

So they get stuck

I swear this always happens

I don’t know what to say

But I don’t have a time machine

To fix my mistakes

So instead, I’ll just say

The words that I said

But never truly meant

You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone

Until the second, third, tenth chances have already been had

So even though you’ll never see this

I just want to say

My bad
