I'm Sorry That I Felt Sorry

I left you

With no explanation

I didn't put your

feelings into consideration

I felt bad, for months

I ended my new relationship

because I felt guilty

i deemed myself unworthy

of any love

I felt guilty, I did

but maybe i shouldn't have

I knew that I owed you an explanation

but what was I to say?

"Sorry love, but you do not necessarily appeal to my sense of longing anymore"

No, not like that ... I couldn't hurt you

Like that

A soul so sweet and innocent

... So I thought

You're happy now, I see

Or maybe you've always been

You got another girl, now

Or maybe you've always had

I see now that what I did was wrong

but I didn't have to beat myself up about it

Because you're happy without me

you've always been

You don't care about me

you never had
