With Regret

Don’t come any closer,
I can’t bear
To see my guilt,
Reflected,
In your eyes.
I never meant
To hurt you,
The treachery
Was of my making.
I can argue that
My inexplicable stupidity
Was brought forth from
My immaturity,
A flagrant lie.
I do regret my actions,
The deeds that
Damaged what we had,
Destroyed - who we were.
I created untold havoc,
Your trust in me
Became destitute,
Rightfully so.
Where was I in your need?
I let you down by removing
My wholehearted support
From you,
When you earnestly needed it
The most.
I should have been a haven
For your triumphs,
No matter how small.
Instead
I was a sacrilegious temple
For your addictions,
Feeding you
At the altar
Of enslavement.
Dependent
On your obsessions,
Your cravings,
To fill a void
In my own life.
I be me BUT who does me be?

Painful, torn Truth... reaching out and reaching in... knowing the consequences of action, yet wanting to take back all of the pain...

Thank you for sharing this poem of honesty.

Love,
Moca
