Sorriness

Sorriness

I know you're hurting,

I feel it too.

You can't invest time,

And walk away clean.

But this pain,

This shattered heart,

It mends, goes away,

When a new life starts.

I'm so sorry.

I don't want you to hurt;

But should I be unhappy,

To keep you happy?

I care about you.

But I care about me too.

There is no hate,

What we had was good,

No, fuck!, it was great.

But things can change,

They usually do.

And I need to do this,

I know you're hurting.

I am too.
