I Didn't Mean To Break Your Heart
I wrote a poem of yesterday
a part of me was dying.
Love had come then left again
and left me there just crying.
So long it seemed my reaching out
I hoped somehow you'd see.
Remembered times I cried with you
that you might cry with me.
I guess I took it much too far
I missed it from the start.
The last thing that I wanted.
I didn't mean to break your heart.
Memories of former days
when maybe love was new.
Must have all come rushing back
somehow crushing you.
Relentlessly I told my tale
about a love that went all wrong.
Not seeing what it did to you
as you followed along.
Feeling somehow some release
I let it all pour out.
Opened wounds inside of you
one more time filled with doubt.
Through the times I lived and loved
my world fell all apart.
Words I write for healing me
I didn't mean to break your heart.
