What Have I Done?

by Tara Auburn   Feb 17, 2005


I walked away from the scene of the crime.
I turned around to look back on what had happened, and my friend told me to look away.
She said it was too late and that it couldn’t be taken back.
What had I done?

I went through the whole day thinking of my actions.
I had never done anything like that before.
I wanted so bad to turn around and run back, and fix everything.
I was trapped where I was and couldn’t go anywhere.
What had I done?

After a long day of pain and suffering, I walked by the scene of the crime.
I wanted so bad to run ahead of you and be the first one there, and make it look as though nothing happened.
I kept on walking and praying to God that nothing would happen.
What had I done?

You told people of what I had done.
It shocked you and everyone else.
Nobody ever thought I would go that far, and do that much.
What had I done?

You have said nothing to me.
I don’t know how you feel about all this.
I don’t know if I want to hear what you think of my actions.
What had I done?

I have never told a guy of how I felt for him.
I had never written a note to a guy.
I hadn’t done anything like this, till yesterday.
I gave you the note, and I walked away.
Now I want to run, run so far away that I’ll never make a mistake like this again.
What have I done?
