I hurt you.

You are in pain.

It is my fault.

The pain of these truths rings in my ears
Makes me sick to my stomach
I cry to myself
All day and all night
I can't help it
I cannot stop
Wallowing in a depression that seems impossible to escape
And yet

It is I who hurt you
I who caused you pain
Me
What rite do I have to be upset?

I love you

Your pain
Is my pain
When you hurt
I hurt

And this unbearable misery,
Self inflicted tribulation,
Is amplified for it comes from me
I am the wicked one who afflicted you with grief
I
The one who is meant to love you
How contradictory
To hurt someone you love
Someone who is your world and your everything

Why?
How?

It was not my intent
But it was the result of my actions none the less
Therefore, my curse
Tho you may forgive me
God willing
For you love me
I cannot forgive myself
For I do not love myself
How could I?
I caused tears to drip down your face and sobs to escape your throat
My enemy has hurt my love
And that enemy is
I

I love you
I need you
I hurt you

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I am so sorry
