Apology Response

I hate you. You make me sick in every single sense of the word. And I keep thinking of ways to pay you back, to reek havoc on a sorry excuse for a person. But I have thought more about and decided enough is enough and I am writing my own note of apology.
I'm sorry for:
pouring milk on you during lunch
keying your car
telling your mom you smoked crack
telling your crush how innocent you were
and many other things, please forgive me... LOL. Really

Apology Poem

I'm sorry I pushed you in the pool last night
I wouldn't have done it if it didn't seem like such a great opportunity
You, just standing by the edge of the pool, so close that the tips of your shoes were wet
Wearing that baggy sweatshirt just waiting to be filled up with water
Me, Knowing that you were right in the line of vision of the guy you were staring at all night
For that brief moment, a few minutes of my extreme amusement outweighed a few hours of your discomfort
And I admit, it didn't slip my mind that you had no change of clothes
But my apology is nevertheless sincere

Losing the Big Fish

My life is a net, and everyone I meet is a fish
The little fish pass through the net with ease
They do not look back at me once they've passed
If they even notice me
And I do not look back at them once they've passed
If I even notice them
But the big fish remain in the net for awhile
They are a silver treasure that I never want to give up
But there are rips in the net
And they always find one
They pass through as easily as the little fish did
Watching them swim away is like hacking off a foot
Not only does it hurt, but you know you are missing something important
Crying is a relief
The tears blur my vision and I cannot see how far away they really are
But I turn around and await more fish
Though I know it's impossible to keep all the big fish
I will never stop fishing
Because someday I'd like to keep one
