remorse

I can feel you slipping away as time passes by 
Knowing there's nothing I can do, but doing everything to try
You are caving and breaking and because of what we are taking
I have nothing to say except...
I'm sorry
Sorry we destroyed your beauty that was given unconditionally 
Sorry we took the gifts you gave but it was really greed that we received
Sorry for rendering lifeless some of your most beautiful creations
When you gave us the gift of life, we gave you impatience
and all that you ever did was surround us with your everlasting grace
But I will fight for you forever because I love you so
And I will give you the ability again to spread your wings and grow
​Mother Nature, we are sorry.
