Sometime in August.
Today is the day.
The day I swear off all my vices.
I will promise “never again”.
But tomorrow I will be back to picking the lock
That was set there to protect me.

If you knew all I had done,
You probably wouldn’t be surprised.
However, what is left unspoken is left uncertain.
So I won’t tell you,
At least not all of it.

I am so sorry.
I never meant to disappoint.
I never meant to hurt.
But I did.

Today is the day I will swear off all my vices,
I will promise you “never again”.
But tomorrow I will be back to picking the lock
That you set there to save me.
