My Mistake
by ~BelleJalousieI jumped into this too soon.
But, God, I thought it was right.
I thought it was my place to be.
I thought I'd give you light.
I know you're troubled, baby.
You've suffered too much for your age.
And, however cliche'd this sounds,
You've always been stuck in a cage.
I was hoping to be the girl to help.
The one who'd replace all your drugs.
The one who could make you happy,
with words, kisses, and hugs.
But, to be dreadfully honest, dear.
The more time that passes, I think I was wrong.
I shouldn't have opened up or trusted you.
Already, this has gone on for too long.
It was my mistake to let you in.
It was wrong to give you a second try.
I don't blame you for any of this.
But I can't be there when you cry.
I'm sorry for telling you that I loved you.
It's not true. Not anymore.
Not the way that you say you love me, at least.
But that could be a lie. Another part of my heart you tore.
But I don't blame you, though I should.
I don't have the heart to hate you.
I don't have the strength to block you out.
I wont say, anymore, that I love you, too.
I wont have to hear you say that you don't deserve me.
No longer will you tell me that I don't understand.
I wont have to defend you when my friends say you're mean.
And I'll no longer walk this hard road, holding your hand.
Your lies were enough to tear me to pieces.
Believe it or not, when I said it was okay, it wasn't true.
And yet, I still smiled and forgave you every time.
I still thought that I'd grow to really love you.
It was my mistake. I don't blame you. So I'm sorry for that. But I'm going to be selfish for once and say that it's not me. It's you.
