I Hate Me for Hurting You

I hate me

For hurting you

You tell me it's okay

It was just that one time

But I think back

To when I made

That promise

To myself

"I won't hurt anyone anymore."

I broke that promise

I begged you to forgive me

And you forgave me

But I hated myself

When we were sitting on your couch

My head on your shoulder

Because I hurt you

And I can never forgive myself

For that

And I'm one shitty friend

And you know it

Even if you don't say it

When you read this

For once in my life

I've accepted my new name

For my parents

I'm the back-stabber

The shitty daughter

Who stabs you in the back

They might not say it

To my face

But I know that's my new name

I cry because

I can't stop hurting you

That's why I'm going to

Stop trying

Because me trying isn't working

I can't save you

From me

And I hope

That I can stop

Hating myself

But right now

I don't even know who I am

Anymore

The person that I look at in the mirror

Is a bitch who hurts the people I care about

I hate me for hurting you
