A poem that reflects upon the things I've done that hurt someone close to me...
How do I ever look into your eyes again?
How do I not remember everything I've done?
I've hurt more than just myself this time
I've hurt the one

It's hard for me to look at you right now
But it's even harder to look at me
I'm constantly reminded of the things I've done
I don't like the man I see

I've seen the pain I caused you
Yet this is something I continue to do
I wish I could be who you want me to be
I don't know what you see in me

The hardest part of all
Is knowing that I can't be the man you need
I despise who I am
Seriously, what do you see in me?

All my life I've yearned for normality
So many times I tried
And when I realised it wasn't meant for me...
That's when my spirit died

And now, no matter how hard I try
And no matter what I do
The only thing I've ever managed
Is to continue to hurt you

It's dark nights like tonight
When I think you're better off without me
That you deserve happiness
That you deserve to realise your dreams

You'll never know how sorry I am
For everything I've done to you
Right now I need to be alone
There's something I need to do

And while this will probably hurt you a little more
I need you to understand
That I really need to do this
If I am to be your man

There are many things in this world
That I just fail to see
So I would really like to know
What do you see in me
