I should be used to it now.
Oh you know,
The utter soul-tearing pain
That makes you wish for death?
Surely you've felt it.

My heart was, I could say,
Yours for the taking
Except you never would
Have taken it.
But that's okay.

I'm sorry for the confusion
Thrust on you by
My lack of discretion.
Why did I say anything
At all.

The closeness that we
Once had,
Destroyed by my unwelcome
Words and unreturned
Feelings. Please,
I cannot ask for your love,
But you could grant me forgiveness.

I loathe myself for
Messing up, no excuses now.
I only ask that you recall
Our friendship and find the reasons
Not to throw it away, my friend.

For know this,If you choose this path, the one
Of the death of friends,
It will not just be metaphorical.

I truly am sorry and I
Cannot forgive myself for this,
And I don't see why you should either.
Just leave me and forget.
In time the pain will fade
And I will just be a shade of
Someone you once knew.
