Guilt

by CH

January 14, 2018

There are things

I cannot control

Things

I cannot do for you

(Even though I wish to,

much)

Things

beyond my,

your,

Our capacity.

Please,

Cease your assault.

Please stop looking at me with eyes

filled with poison and hate.

I’m tired,

I can’t help,

I’m guilty,

I’m hurting.

(You’re hurting Me.)

I try to evoke emotion when I write these pieces, mostly because I feel them when I write them in the first place.Thus, I am so honored that this could be a source of memory for you.Thank you for your comment!

This is amazing. It makes me think about how someone that hurt me feels. He told me i deserve better than him, and i was told by an outside source that he cant look at me because of the hurt in my eyes.
