I lied to you
on your dying day,
but I don't know
how lucid you were, anyway,

and I want to say
that, at the time,
it was more of a half-truth
than an outright lie

(and,
in a certain sense,
it wasn't a lie at all),

but it was mostly
the implicit meaning
behind it that you
might have gleaned

—had you the ability
to discern reality
from the waking hell
you were in—

that shames me so much,
and I wish that I could
fulfill all of the promise
that you thought I had,

but I've never really had
the wherewithal
to make anyone proud.

This is clean and strong and unbearably tragic.
