Sep 2014
when you asked me to be your girlfriend,
i didn't cry.
nor did i cry when you gave me
this promise ring.

I cried when you told me
"if you talk to him again, we're done"
and i cried when i had to tell him
why

i didn't cry after the first time
we made love,
nor the first time you told me
you loved me.

but i never cried so hard until when
you found out he kissed me
and you told me that it was over
but you wouldn't let me leave

today, i cried because i know
i've done so many wrongs
and i don't know when or if
i could ever make it
