Guilty

Every time I look at you
I turn away in shame
I cannot bare to see your face
For in it I see blame

I tried to stop her from leaving
And you are still too young
To know what really happened
And what terrible thing I’ve done

I try not to see your face
It blurs before my eyes
I cannot stand how you trust me
I wish to sink to my demise

Every moment I catch a glimpse
I feel I must tell you
My guilt has grown so great
I need it to be known for we two

I never meant for her to leave
And I can still see your love
But if you ever knew my truth
I’d lose my little dove

I am ashamed of myself
I refuse to see your face
And that look of blame
That truly you misplace

Every time I look at you
I show to you my back
I cannot bare to hear your voice
With which you easily attack

I tried so hard to stop her
Yet from us she would leave
Maybe it is time to explain
What I’ve hid up my sleeve

I cannot bare to gaze at you
For in your face I see her
You are so young to understand
My guilt I wish to smother

I need to tell you everything
Get it all off my chest
But whenever I briefly see you
I can never speak the rest

The words die on my tongue
So I’ll just spell it all out
She was leaving you and me
I couldn’t let this come about

*Sorry but it’s a work in progress. There’s just a few things I need to fix this.
