When You Cry

CATEGORY

life

I'm not a terrible person

Because I've pursued forbidden fruit

I believed everyone was entitled to desire

And allowed one opportunity to fall over temptation

Stumble and trip over urges

Then disguise them as mistakes

To make it seem less painful

To make it seem more human

Your hurt is my hurt

Conjoined at the heart

Adjacent to your spirit

When you cry I fall apart

I apologize for thinking

My actions were acceptable

There's no excuse my love

For not thinking at all

Absent minded pleasure for one night

To make up for many nights of loneliness

I just wanted to fill a void

But the abyss seemed bottomless

I realize now there was no depth

In an act so very cruel

Your hurt is my hurt

Conjoined at the heart

Adjacent to your spirit

When you cry I fall apart
