My Crime

I didn't want to hurt you
a second time.
I should have left you -
that was my crime.


I should have told you
about my worries.
Now all I'm spouting
are my sorries.


I never really wanted
to cross that line.
Now all the guilt
is on this mind of mine.


I never really know
just what to say to you.
Please,
don't ask me to.
