I’ll never forget that fateful day

When your misguided hopes

For some semblance of love  

Collapsed on itself completely

With the dropping of the bomb

That would prove our demise.



And as we sat in a crowded room

With all of work’s responsibility

Weighing heavy on your mind

You had to now deal with betrayal

Sitting directly across from you

As she reasoned her brutal attack.



I don’t even really remember what

Words were exchanged that day

As I managed to dig myself deeper

Into a ditch with my blunt honesty

But I’ll always remember that look

Of absolute despair in your eyes.  



It didn’t really make sense to me

Back then why you were hurt by

My selfish and uncontrived actions

But that look put more daggers

Through my heart than anything

You could have ever done to me.



I know you had to stay composed

But if your eyes could’ve spoken

They would’ve screamed in agony

As you blamed me justly for this

Undeserved pain you were feeling

At how I made your heart bleed.



That look still haunts my sleep.

I never thought I was capable

Of incurring so much damage.

I know it was inexcusable and

I don’t expect you to take me back

But could you at least forgive me?
