I’ve created a monster

And I didn’t even realize

I apologize

I’m sorry, and I own it.

I’ve created a monster

But I’m going to make it better

This time I won’t believe the lies

Or count the times

You’re sorry, but you’re not.

I’ve created a monster

How could I do such a thing

Impossibly all I needed

Was you

Making me wait

Until, and I apologize,

I’m sorry, but I couldn’t.

I’ve created a monster

And you can call me

What you want—

I won’t be there.

And I won’t apologize,

Because

I’m not sorry for myself.
