The Pain I've Caused

I made a mistake
Something bad
I have made
Loved ones sad

Why am I
So damn cruel?
I've made myself
Into a fool

I didn't think
Before I spoke
I hurt them badly
Pain was provoked

My apologies
Were not accepted
And I soon became
Sadly rejected

I caused them pain
And I don't know why
I lost their trust
I made them cry

How could I
Be so dense?
I hurt them terribly
It makes no sense

If I could
Go back in time
I'd have never done
Such an emotional crime

I've lost some friends
Who now hate me so
I've learned the hard way
And I must let them go

If they are better without me
I can't force them to forgive
The things I've done
So I must let them live
