"Breaking the Pattern"

by Jeph Johnson

 

You'd prefer
I simply apologize
And everything's okay

I'd prefer
You simply try to communicate
Through my complicated brain


"I'm sorry"

 

Is not even needed

But you will apologize anyway
And I will keep trying to communicate

Stubborn and set in our ways, huh?

I'm breaking the pattern,

 

Sweetheart…


"I am sorry"
