Shame

Don't look at me.
It's too hard to see
To face the one who hurt you,
Who said 'I love you'
And smiled so you'd believe.
And now I leave.
My conscience caught up to me,
Now I can't be
The girl you saw before.
I reeled you in; A lore.

Now I realized
My feelings inside.
I do.
I love you,
But I'm ashamed.
I'm the one blamed.
I deserve it all.
Can't let you see me fall.
Don't look at me,
I don't want you to see.

The pain in my eyes.
Who am I?
Who did I become?
I need not succumb.
Let me suffer alone,
To wither down to bone.
Don't be a fool and care,
The sight of you I cannot bare.
And I love you,
That part was true.

You should walk away
You should not stay
Leave me be
I don't want you to see
My sorrow is not yours to take
In your hands I break
And yet you hold on tight
Me in my emotional fight
I love you
You love me too

I ask you to forgive me
as you stare right into me
'I love you'
'And I you'
