I hurt you long ago
I left with no fare thee well
Like a thief in the night,
Disappearing without a trace
Or an apology
I am sorry
It wasn’t me
*
I was a monster,
Ranting repeatedly,
Swearing and pointing fingers
I was to blame
I alone caused the pain
I am sorry
It wasn’t me
*
I used you for my pleasure
I cast you aside,
As if you meant nothing
That wasn’t true
I told so many lies
I am sorry
It wasn’t me
*
I was a coward,
Refusing to see your worth
Why was I a thief, a monster, a liar?
I should have known better
But I didn’t
I am so sorry
It wasn’t me
It was the me I used to be.
