I tried to save you
I cut the mold away
Removed the yellow leaves
But it wasn’t enough
I tried to make a beautiful meal with you
But I ran out of time
And couldn’t reach you
So my dreams of that meal perished
I told myself that you were OK to eat
But you weren’t
And I made myself sick
I tried to not let your life go to waste
To see it through with you
But I failed
And all I can do now is try better next time
