Guilty

Like a rushing tidal wave
your emotions
crashed against me.
Your words
cut into my heart.

Like a scalpel with precision.
You peeled away the layers
of all of my defenses.

I was left exposed
beaten, bruised and broken.
Drowning in your tears.

You screamed.
I was speechless.
I tried to run and hide
but there was no cover
from your pursuit.

The pain behind those
raging blue eyes
so evident and piercing
saw right through me.

You trusted me.
You loved me.
I failed you.

You demanded a Truth
I could not give you.
Because I knew
Sorry was not enough
to heal your wounds.

I knew I was Guilty
of not being
in love with you.
