My Mistake

I understand your pain
And that because of me
Some things will never be the same

I feel regret
Like a knife in my side
Always there

Your words, like barbs
Under my skin
Lodged there

And there they will stay
For you do not forgive
I understand

I wish...

But what use is wishing??
You have made it clear

So I will step back

Move away

And try to make things easier

So you will move on
And I will be a memory
A bad one

But

You stay with me
Like a handprint in my heart
