Devastated By Guilt
I'm so sorry I brought tears to your eyes,
each drop has grievously pierced my heart.
I wish to ease the pain each tear implies,
your sadness is tearing my world apart.
I lived the dream when you were by my side,
unaware my flirting was hurting you.
I didn't think it was cheating till you cried,
and l realized what I'd put you through.
When you became my wife and shared my name,
I never imagined this day would come.
Devastated by guilt, I'm racked with shame,
how could I possibly have been so dumb?
Although there's no excuse for what I've done,
let my kisses dry those tears one by one.
(Sonnet)
