I am sorry for not being the woman you could love,
Sorry to all of you who began with telling me you loved me
And ended with you do not-
I am sorry for in the meantime I took to loving you,
But I am sorry I have been unworthy and insufficient,
I am sorry that I will never be enough.
So I look at all these women like magic,
Whom people love-
Oh! Damn, tell me how do you do it?
I am sorry for the woman that I am.
