Of a love that was tangled in guilt and despair.
I never meant to hurt her, to cause her such pain,
But circumstances twisted our love's fragile chain.
We walked a delicate path, intertwined and entwined,
But the shadows of guilt clouded my mind.
She captured my heart, with her laughter and grace,
Yet the weight of my guilt cast a darkened embrace.
For your brother, my friend, held a bond so true,
And in loving her, I feared I betrayed him too.
But amidst the turmoil, a love did ignite,
A flame that burned fiercely, in the depths of the night.
I felt a connection, a love so profound,
But the guilt I carried, like a heavy shroud.
I wanted to cherish her, to hold her so near,
Yet the guilt whispered softly, filling me with fear.
I longed to be honest, to confess my true heart,
But the words remained trapped, torn apart.
I watched her, from afar, as the days drifted by,
And I saw the pain reflected within her eyes.
She deserved a love, pure and untainted,
And my presence only left her feeling tainted.
So I made the painful choice, to let her go,
To shield her from the guilt she didn't deserve to know.
Regret lingers within me, a haunting remorse,
For the love I let slip away, off its course.
But I hope she finds happiness, in another's embrace,
And forgiveness finds me, in time and in grace.
For I didn't mean to use her, to cause her such strife,
And the love I felt for her was more than my life.
But the guilt weighed heavy, in the depths of my soul,
And I couldn't let love's fire consume us whole.
