"I'm so sorry,"

Fake my crying,

Pretend to curse at justice,

But yesterday invoked it?

"I told you so"

But there I'd go,

And break your fragile heart-

I'd known it from the start-

I wanted this,

Your shot to miss,

To validate my pains

And break us from the same.

A final time,

Success sublime,

To free me at long last,

And remedy our past.

But chiding me-

Humanity.

I'd loathe to hurt you now

As victor I'm avowed.

Can't say "sorry,"

I'd be lying,

But still, I'd rather die than go-

"I told you so."
