Dear Person I didn't mean to hurt


Dear person, I didn’t mean to hurt

 

I’m sorry I made you fall for that guy who always smiled

He wasn’t worth all the pain he put you through

pushing you around as if he owned you

Yet talking to other girls, while acting so pure with you

Making you believe you were the only one,

Not knowing that he wasn’t the one

Leaving you for another girl

But coming back all fresh and new

You wanted to leave, but I made you stay

Making your heartbreak

You begged me for my help but I locked you in

Making you suffer while I gave in

 

I’m sorry I made you go back to her

She wasn’t a good friend, and she was worse of the worse

But the feeling of you being lonely was so unsettling

That I couldn’t live with myself seeing you so gloomy

She ran around playing the victim game

And I pushed you to play her stupid game

Not knowing that you’ve had enough and started to break

I didn’t care, and I should’ve cared

Because after what she did, it was your last straw

You finally broke

You finally changed

 

I’m sorry you grew distant

You shouldn’t have locked up your emotions

You shouldn’t have locked up your heart

All the people who pushed you around finally got to you

And finally made you grow as a person

But as you grew, you started to have doubt

Of all the people in your life so you didn’t get close

Not an inch, not a centimeter, not a chance

You placed a mask every morning

Hoping not to crack once again

 

I’m sorry if I made you weak

It was never my intention

If anything I was trying to help

But in return, I was making you suffer

Please forgive.

Sincerely, You
