It’s been quite awhile since that fateful day,
the day in which you left me,
and though at first I wanted you to pay,
and feel the pain that I felt,
I can say, as of now, that I do forgive.
I cannot blame you for wanting to leave,
because now I do truly see,
that I was not perfect in my love.
I could’ve sworn that I held you with care,
but now I see that my acts were bare,
because I did it not out of love, but of duty,
and that failure in itself taints your beauty.
I have failed not only myself, but you,
because my actions were not true,
I did them for the wrong reason,
which, towards our relationship, was an act of treason.
I betrayed you in the worst way,
and the guilt keeps me from smiling another day.
So darling, I beg, I plead,
that you will look towards me and see,
that it was not my intention,
I could’ve sworn that I loved you,
but as I see it now,
the times that I claimed ‘I love you’,
were simply never true,
and now, I have cursed you because of a lie,
but I realize the truth so now I bid you goodbye.
