    Let Me
    Let Me
    Let me forgive myself.
    One more stone and my back…
    Will surely break.
    Just a glimpse of your shattered memory,
    The pain is renewed.
    Maybe one more stone…
    Then I might be able to forgive
    Every sin I committed against you,
    My dearest friends.
    I owe you much more than 
    I have been giving.
    Who am I to pretend that I like
    What I’ve become? 
    I wish you the endless happiness
    That I’ve always robbed you of.
    Sometime, I pray, I could be a part of it too.
    A stone for every transgression I have made.
    I hope this back of mine
    Is strong enough. 
    One day I want to join in
    All of your happiness,
    Without tainting it.
    I want this guilt within me
    To wash away.
    Let me forgive myself, 
    So I can be….
    Everything you need in a friend.
    -Kaitlin Platti
