MY MISTAKE

My mistake …. I messed up
Should have never crossed the line
Would change it…. if I had the chance
But, can’t go back in time. 

Tried to say, “I’m sorry”
Did my best to apologize 
It was never my intention
To ever make you cry.

You were always harsh …. unyielding
Acted like you could care less
But, I honestly I loved you
Can’t we give this all a rest.

Pushed and pulled, turned away
Never knew just what to do
I wasn’t what you wanted
I was not enough for you.

Always kept your distance
At arm’s length, kept me at bay
I longed to be accepted
But, was always turned away. 

Anyone that knew us
Knew I wanted so much more
Much more than I could ever say 
But, I was shown the door. 

Now you’re older and you’re bitter
No one left for you to blame
Turned your back, turned me away
Left me here…. to bear the shame. 

You said you didn’t love me
Were you telling me the truth?
I was hurt, was devastated
There was nothing I could do.
