I failed.

I'm sorry I didn't turn out
to be everything you wanted:
The always straight-A'ed
honor roll student with the
free ride to the Ivy Leagues.

I'm sorry I didn't turn out
to be everything you wanted:
The always available shoulder
and emergency boy-chocolate
that made it all better.

I'm sorry I didn't turn out
to be everything you wanted:
The touch-me-wherever
always ready for the next step
body bag you said you loved.

I'm sorry I didn't turn out
to be everything you wanted:
The happy go lucky attitude
that was really just a mask,
but that you always smiled at.

I'm sorry I didn't turn out
to be everything you wanted:
The one who would see him
with his couch and medications
before it got this far.

I'm sorry I took too many of the wrong one.
