A Choice

by Thinkingitthrough

I am not a forgiving person And you never should have asked And every time I gave it to you I told you to do it again Except I begged you not to You couldn’t seem to stop breaking my heart No matter how hard you tried At least I hope you were trying Maybe you wanted to see how far you could go Before I wouldn’t allow you back And I let you do it This is on me Except I realise now it was all a lie Every time I forgave you It was me blaming myself Telling myself it wasn’t your fault And therefore you didn’t need my forgiveness But I couldn’t forgive myself I can’t forgive you for letting me die alone I could never And I will never forget how it felt Every time I close my eyes I suppose they say everybody dies alone But it’s another thing to live it You made me choose I chose you over me Your happiness over my life And I chose wrong
