Tell my nephew I am sorry Tell my sister I'm sorry she had to be The one to tell my nephew tell her I was Afraid of her judgment tell my mother I Wasn't bluffing tell my brothers I was Going back to get the brother who didn't Survive the one before me tell them that This was my apology to him tell my Grandmother to please open up the gates I know this really wasn't the way she Expected to see me again but this is how I am unraveled tell her Never mind I'll tell her myself tell my Other suicide notes they asses weren't Poems either tell my roommate I'm sorry He had to be the one to find the body Tell the blood be quick about it already Tell Ryan my love that everything has His name on it tell the man that Threatened my life I won too slow in This human's race tell the downstairs Neighbors I'm sorry for the thud tell Eris I'm sorry I couldn't be the best Man in her wedding
