I'm sorry I'm not a better daughter.

I'm sorry I never said I loved you;
I can never say how I truly feel,
I bury the emotions deep inside.

I just pretend that everything's fine
though I cry alone silently in my room.

 
I'm sorry I turn away at your touch
and ignore you when you open up to me.

I spend as little time around you
because I have trouble relating to you.

I'm sorry I'm not a better granddaughter.

I wish I could have been what you dreamed for me:
successful and socialable.

I wish you could have been at my wedding-
to know that I found a love like yours.

But I haven't and maybe never will.

I'm sorry I'm not a better cousin.

I'm sorry that I never call or visit.

I should have been there for you
when you needed me.

But I was jealous of how popular you were
and didn't know the price you paid
for that attention.

I'm sorry I'm not a better girlfriend.

I'm sorry I was selfish,
I wish I didn't read into all your actions.

I tried so hard to be the best girlfriend
but all it did was I push you away. 

I'm sorry I wasn't a better friend.

I contact you only when I need you
or feel obligated to.

When you lose touch,
I write you out of my life because
it's easier than facing rejection.

I'm sorry I'm not a bettern human;
I fail at existing.

Maybe the world would be better off without me.
