Woe is Me

What have I done
Have I destroyed another life
Am I too selfish
That I couldn't hide my feelings

What would have been the cost to me
A word
A touch
A gentle hug

My guilt is showing
I need strength to get through this
There is no other way
I hear her pain

I cannot comfort her no more
I burnt that bridge and watched it fall
Why do I keep raining down on my horizons
Will I destroy all in my path
