I'm sorry, I love you, I forgive you...goodnite
as you lay across from me,
I softly recite...
familiar words covering
like a worn blanket,
it snuggles us.
a soft lullaby we hear
before bed every nite


I forgive you, I love you, I'm sorry...goodnite
I don't really mean it,
I know that I'm right.
I'm biting my tongue,
around an unfinished thought
like a forced hug
to ease a tense night
we're fighting

I love you, I'm sorry, I forgive you...goodnite
wherever you are,
close or so very far...
I'm tucking you in,
in this world we call home
the sky for a blanket
wherever you lay your head,
I'm whispering,
I'm sorry,
I love you,
I forgive you,
goodnite...
