When I read this poem it reminded me so much of the many conversations I've had with my brother about stealing each others food. Although it sounds like the speaker is apologizing, I don't think she is actually apologizing at all. I think she is rubbing it in the face of the person who was saving them. It is like when Josh eats something I've been saving and then he says "well, I got here first but it tasted amazing". And then when the speaker says forgive me she continues to rub it in her companions face by letting them know how delicious it was.
heres my attempt:
This is just
to say that
I set your
house on fire
And which
you were
probably
saving to live in
Forgive me
I simply don't
know what
I'm doing
Sorry I never
liked you
that much
anyway
