Shame

If they return
It will be because of this
Not her impending death
Not her pain at his loss
Not due to the stress
Of COVID19
It would be because of this 
The pain in my chest
Rumbling in my core
Disappointment in self
And shame of my own doing
What I do wrong
What I did wrong
What I continue to do wrong
All I can offer is my apology 
But I have not
I cannot
Seem to get the words out
Barely even look you in the eye
It's pathetic
Particularly compared
To the level of my maturity 
I am sorry, though
For the upset this caused
For my inability
To handle this situation
With proper grace and dignity
